Do not automatically count anticipated sales as a second contribution. Distinguish the qualifying property value from the enterprise’s expected later revenue.
Avoid counting the same economic resource twice
Review the actual investment and any separate contribution on its facts. Valuation and preparation costs also should not automatically be added to capital merely because they helped document the property.
The invested capital must be the full threshold amount placed in the enterprise; administrative and government charges cannot be counted toward it. An administrative fee charged by a project is a different payment; labelling an account does not convert it into qualifying capital, and what governs is the actual legal requirement and the use of the money. Identify any proposed ownership change, additional capital obligation, project charge or new official filing fee separately. Model repayments against income and savings you can actually reach; profits shown inside the enterprise are not your personal liquidity, and there is no universal rule that capital returns after two years. Label every budget line as qualifying capital, government charge, professional expense, project administration, tax, travel, or reserve. Ask each project in writing what happens to the administrative fee and the capital if the petition is denied or the project fails, because the answers differ.
