The purchase agreement, the target's financial statements and tax returns, its management contracts and payroll records, evidence that the funds are committed and traceable, and organizational documents showing ownership and control.

The file divides in two. On the enterprise side: signed purchase agreement, three years of financial statements and returns, the client management agreements, the payroll register and employment records, any lease or premises documents, licences held, and a business plan where current income needs supplementing to show capacity. On the capital side: the source of every dollar traced from origin to destination, which for Anouk means her construction company's retained earnings, any dividend declared, the bank movements and the escrow instructions.
Add the corporate documents that establish who owns the U.S. entity and who controls it, because both nationality and develop-and-direct turn on them. Documents in another language need certified English translations.
A file that proves the money and not the business, or the business and not the money, will not carry the application.
