Do not assume so. Administrative services, qualifying investment capital and household costs have different purposes and treatment. As of September 7, 2026, the capital figures are US$1,050,000 or US$800,000 for qualifying targeted employment area or infrastructure projects. Statutory adjustments begin January 1, 2027; confirm the amount applicable to the filing.
Use the genuine transaction terms
A reporting charge does not automatically establish either invested capital or policy participation.
For every proposed principal, identify the applicable capital threshold, source-and-path work, project charges, professional scope, current government charges, travel, and later removal-of-conditions preparation without quoting filing-fee amounts. Money held in the investor's personal account against future expenses is not yet invested, and funds contributed but parked in the company's reserve with no business purpose invite the question whether they are actually at risk. The common mistake is relying on a gross asset value, overlooking taxes or debt payouts, and discovering too late that liquid funds cannot cover both the statutory investment and surrounding expenses.
