Identify who holds missing documents and what fact each request is intended to establish. Where gifts, loans, distributions or asset sales are involved, provide their genuine terms for review.

The executed subscription and operating agreements with every amendment; receipts and transfer confirmations for each contribution, showing payer, payee and purpose; tax reporting issued to the investor; job-creation reports together with the methodology behind them; and correspondence recording what was requested and when. The corporate set includes formation documents, the operating or shareholder agreement, share or membership ledgers, the lease or premises contract, licences, bank statements showing capital arriving and being spent, payroll registers, and tax filings once they exist.
