No. The actual qualifying funds, security, commitment and enterprise must be assessed.
Avoid equating debt size with eligibility
There is no universal dollar minimum. Enterprise-secured funds are excluded even with personal collateral, and a nominal loan amount does not show that capital is lawfully committed at risk. Reconcile the financing with the real business costs and remaining conditions.
Business outlays such as premises, equipment and inventory belong in the investment analysis, and professional charges deserve individual review rather than a blanket inclusion or exclusion. Keep professional fees and any government charges recorded separately from that capital, confirm official fees at the point each step is taken, and avoid transactions undertaken solely to reach a number someone quoted. Beyond the investment itself, budget for legal work on the purchase agreement and the note, accounting review of the seller's records, valuation where the price is negotiated, and the application costs applicable to the route chosen. Alongside the investment, budget the consular visa charges for a Canadian applicant, the cost of a properly prepared business plan and the professional fees for structuring, and recognise that a low investment total makes the marginality evidence carry more weight.
