Describe it accurately as evidence of the communication, not automatically as an executed lease right.
Keep negotiations distinct from obligations
Provide the existing lease and actual proposed terms. Do not select a reassuring sentence while omitting conditions or dates relevant to the arrangement.
The purchase agreement and escrow instructions, complete source-of-funds evidence, the target business's financial statements, payroll records and material contracts, corporate formation and ownership documents, a lease or premises evidence, and a business plan covering at least five years. Request the entity documents, the asset list with titles for vehicles and equipment, the premises lease and its assignment terms, the service contracts and whether they survive a change of ownership, and any liens registered against the assets. Gather the lease or letter of intent for premises, supplier quotes and terms, equipment purchase or repair commitments, hiring plans with wage assumptions, and any customer contracts transferring with the business. Signed office lease with deposit paid, purchased monitoring hardware and licences, a funded U.S. business account, professional-liability insurance bound, and executed client agreements all show commitment. Include the executed lease and amendments, supplier agreements and invoices, proof of payments leaving the investor's account, incorporation and share records, and the plan rewritten to match them. Equipment need not already be in production before filing; credible prelaunch commitments such as signed leases, purchase orders and deposits can support readiness, subject to review of the actual terms.
