Source records may be relevant, but actual commitment and path require transaction-specific assessment.
Identify where funds would really go
Do not describe mutually exclusive uses as completed investments. Explain the genuine stage and proposed transfers for each option.
The signed purchase agreement, escrow agreement, loan and security documents, corporate formation records, the lease or deed, and a business plan, together with bank statements tracing each dollar from its source. Bank transfers out of the investor's control, receipts and releases from the seller, an executed lease, paid invoices for equipment, licences and inventory, and payroll records for staff hired. Identify accounts that stayed under contract, those that returned after the restart, and those that were lost, with the records behind each: purchase orders, renewed agreements, booking systems, invoices. Place each transaction on a timeline showing source receipt, account movement, contract execution, escrow release, ownership change and planned visa processing.
Where funds sit in escrow, the escrow instructions themselves become important: conditions that permit return to the buyer keep the money out of the analysis, and everyone involved should understand that before the closing structure is fixed.
