No. It may support part of the funds history, but the current investment and enterprise need their own assessment.

Document how proceeds were retained or moved and committed. Past success does not establish treaty nationality, direction or present nonmarginality by itself.
The investment must be substantial in proportion to the cost of buying or establishing this particular business, which means a modest purchase price demands proportionally more rather than less. At least fifty percent of the enterprise must be owned by treaty nationals, and you must genuinely develop and direct it — signing a lease and holding shares is not management. The test is whether the enterprise has the present or future capacity to generate more than a minimal living for the investor and family, and future capacity is generally assessed over a defined period rather than left open-ended. The governing condition bears repeating without decoration: the applicant must have irrevocably committed capital that is at risk in a real operating enterprise, and a transfer no supplier will acknowledge does not evidence that commitment.
