Provide genuine records of origin, transfer and the actual gift or loan terms for assessment.
Describe the legal arrangement accurately
Do not call repayable funds a gift or omit relevant conditions. The complete funding facts matter to the investment analysis.
An unbroken chain: auction settlement statements or bills of sale, the deposit into a named account, any loan payouts on the equipment, the transfer to closing, and the closing statement showing the funds applied. The escrow agreement with its release conditions, the purchase agreement including schedules and amendments, proof of the transfer into escrow, and correspondence showing the consent request is genuinely pending. Filed tax returns for the business and, where relevant, the investor; financial statements; bank statements; payroll registers and employment tax filings; lease or premises documents; and updated ownership records. The agreement and disclosure show the structure and the cost; the governing documents show ownership; the lease and equipment invoices show what the capital actually bought; the funding records show its lawful source and path. The funding trail runs from origin to destination in dated steps: savings history, an asset sale, a gift or loan with its own paperwork, then the transfers, the closing statement, escrow instructions, and receipts.
