No. The investment structure, the lawful source and path of the capital, the applicable at-risk requirement, and the qualifying job-creation evidence all need to be independently established, in addition to investing the correct amount for the specific project type.
Treat the capital figure as one requirement among several
Confirm which capital threshold actually applies to this project and why, and separately assess whether the investor's funding history and the project's job-creation plan are each adequately documented. A complete personal financial history does not substitute for project-level job evidence, and vice versa.
Your capital must be genuinely at risk in the new enterprise, and you must engage through day-to-day management or policy formulation; specified limited partner rights can satisfy that, while a purely passive financial stake does not. Where a promoter offers the reduced amount, the underlying determination is worth reading, because if the designation fails the shortfall is the investor’s problem and not the promoter’s. The job requirement is equally concrete: at least ten positions, each of at least thirty-five hours a week, filled by United States citizens, lawful permanent residents or other work-authorized immigrants.
