Use the governing investment documents and relevant amendments. Identify the actual rights and conditions rather than only a short brochure.
Preserve the complete terms
A summary may omit limitations that matter to risk and the proposed investment.
Passports and civil documents for everyone who would immigrate, several years of tax returns and bank statements, employment or business ownership records, and evidence behind any property sale, inheritance, gift or loan intended to fund the investment. Start from the event that generated the funds, such as an asset sale, inheritance, or business distribution, and trace the ownership, transfers, and currency conversions from that point to the investment, preserving actual dates and amounts. Where a property sale, gift, loan, or asset transfer is involved, provide its genuine terms for review rather than simplifying the story to make it easier to explain, since a narrative can describe a record but cannot replace a transfer that was never documented. Collect the settlement instrument, underlying claim documents, payment schedule, relevant tax treatment, issuer confirmations, statements for every receiving account, and outgoing transfers to the new commercial enterprise.
