No. Review the actual enterprise’s capacity and the applicable investment requirements separately.
Explain what the money will support
E-2 has no universal fixed minimum and does not import EB-5’s capital and job thresholds. A large budget alone does not prove the required operating capacity.
Reconcile the asset schedule, purchase payment and financing, then identify operating reserves, government charges and professional or household expenses separately. The substantiality test asks whether the amount invested is substantial in relation to the total cost of purchasing or creating the enterprise, and whether it is large enough to show the investor's financial commitment and likelihood of success. Keep household expenses separate and review whether the revised funding plan still supports a credible enterprise rather than assuming the purchase price covers everything. Separate three pots that tend to be mixed after a partner leaves: the capital committed and at risk in the enterprise, the working reserve the business needs to reach its plan, and the household’s own living costs. Separate business purchase expenses from government, legal, and personal relocation costs; only the documented enterprise commitment answers the investment question.
