Do not assume either way. Costs of preparing the immigration application are different in character from expenses incurred to establish and operate the enterprise, and the treatment of a specific invoice depends on what the work was and how it was paid. Have counsel review the actual entries before you rely on a total.
Code the invoices as you incur them
Set up the books now so business formation, lease, equipment, and professional services are each recorded separately, with the payer and the purpose on every entry. That makes a later review a reading exercise rather than a reconstruction. Also confirm current government charges at the time of each step instead of carrying an old figure in the spreadsheet, and ask what the professional scope covers if the plan changes before filing.
Ask whether the capital you count as invested is genuinely committed and at risk rather than parked where you can withdraw it between trips. Corporate formation and initial accounting are a grey area; treat them as startup costs and describe them accurately. The benchmark is the total cost of establishing or purchasing a business of that type and getting it operating.
A U.S. enterprise with several revenue lines can show a healthy combined total while one line loses money every month.
