Your ambition.Your enterprise.

Hypothetical example: a Granby investor buys a U.S. business with part of the price payable to the seller later. Separate the debt, ownership and decision rights. An unpaid balance does not by itself establish who controls the enterprise or how each amount should be treated for E-2. An E-2 review should reconcile the funding ledger, ownership table, commercial agreements, and operating forecast. It should show whose money moved, when it became bound to the enterprise, what is exposed to loss, and who will direct the operation. That sequence often reveals whether a commercial step should be completed before the immigration presentation is made. Use the review sheet as a decision tool: it should show what can be proved today, what needs confirmation, and which commitment must wait. That discipline prevents a later explanation from being asked to repair a fact that should have been documented before the route was selected. Before acting, name the next verifiable step and the document that will confirm it. This turns preparation into a measured decision rather than an assumption that an attractive plan will answer an independent legal condition. Keep that decision log with the file so later changes can be compared with the evidence available when the route was chosen.
