Job descriptions for the investor and each planned hire, an organizational chart with reporting lines, payroll or contractor budgets, signature and banking authority documents, and the ownership record. Dated evidence is stronger than a narrative written for the application. Identify material funding gaps before deciding to file rather than assuming a later request will cure them.
Keep the old plan and the new one apart
If earlier drafts described the investor operating machinery personally, do not simply delete them. Explain the change: when it was decided, what triggered it, and how the staffing budget absorbed the work. Reviewers compare versions, and an unexplained rewrite invites questions. Equipment need not already be in production before filing; credible prelaunch commitments such as signed leases, purchase orders and deposits can support readiness, subject to review of the actual terms.
An escrow agreement whose only release condition is issuance of the visa, bank records showing the money left the investor's own account, and receipts for spending that could not be recovered if the venture failed. Include the signed client contracts or letters of intent with values, the job description for the first hire, a quotation from a payroll provider, and the business account statement showing the reserve.
