Every link: the share-purchase agreement, closing statement, holding-company bank statement, board resolution for the distribution, the investor's receiving statement, tax filings and the wire to the enterprise. Lawful source also reaches back to how the shares were first acquired.
Document the holding company as a step, not a mystery
Adjudicators trace the path of funds from origin to the new commercial enterprise and expect an explanation for every account the money touched. A holding company is an ordinary structure but it must be shown: its incorporation documents, its ownership by the investor, the purchaser's payment into its account, the resolution or dividend declaration authorizing payment to the investor, the withholding or tax treatment of that distribution and the investor's personal statement showing receipt. Then the transfer to the enterprise's escrow or account.
For lawful source, the file goes back further: how the investor originally acquired the industrial-supply firm's shares, whether by founding it, buying it or inheriting it, with corporate records and personal tax returns from that period. Missing years are common and should be addressed with alternative evidence and an explanation, not silence. Certified translations of French documents are required for everything submitted.
