Ask for the offering memorandum, subscription agreement, escrow instructions, the loan or equity agreement, the economic report behind the job numbers, and the business plan. A broker's slide with a logo on it is marketing, not disclosure. Get any verbal assurance restated in writing by someone authorised to bind the issuer.
Reading escrow and release conditions closely
Escrow terms decide when deposited funds are released to the project and on what trigger — filing, approval, a minimum raise, or nothing at all. Read who instructs the escrow agent and what happens if the raise fails. Corporate records of the project entity can also be relevant to your eligibility, not just to your commercial comfort, so keep copies of what you are given rather than viewing them once in a data room.
With the share purchase agreement, the lender's commitment letter to the buyers, the closing statement, the deposit record, and the years of corporate financials and tax returns that show the company was lawfully built. The signed loan agreement, the bank's disbursement record, statements showing the investor received and then transferred the proceeds, the currency-conversion record, and the escrow or enterprise receipt establish the core source-and-path chain.
