Bring ownership records, the funding history, the purchase or formation agreement, and any loan or escrow terms, together with evidence describing what the business will actually do day to day.
Surface the conditions before they become binding
Identify who controls the funds at each stage and what happens if a financing or immigration condition is not met. Note any security interest attached to a loan rather than treating all borrowing the same way, and provide the current version of any agreement that has since been revised. Executed agreements, the bank trail, security papers, and realistic operating records establish these facts better than a broker summary or prospective budget alone.
For documents, label every transfer with its sender, recipient, purpose, date, and condition, and attach the agreement controlling it. The decision is whether a loan or escrow term leaves the investor's money properly exposed to risk rather than merely promised. Hypothetical example: A mobile bicycle-repair company is financed with a secured loan; the applicant must show what asset secures it and how the proceeds reached the business.
