No. A high price cannot replace the requirement for an active qualifying enterprise or investor direction. Substantiality also concerns eligible committed capital in relation to the business, not merely the asset’s advertised value.
Separate three different financial questions
Identify the acquisition cost, the cost of operating the business and the separate expense of the immigration process. Management fees, maintenance and other recurring obligations belong in the commercial forecast. Verify current application charges and professional costs independently.
If the model remains passive, spending more on the asset or on application preparation does not resolve the underlying eligibility concern. Three financial questions are commonly merged and should be kept apart. The first is what the asset cost, which is a purchase price.
The second is what was invested in the enterprise, which is a different figure and may be much smaller, since money spent acquiring an asset is not automatically capital committed to an operating business. The third is what the enterprise needs in order to trade, which is working capital and is frequently overlooked entirely where the buyer's attention was on the acquisition. Model each separately and evidence each separately.
A high purchase price does not resolve any of the requirements, and an expensive asset accompanied by no operating business is an expensive asset. Keep immigration-process charges in a separate budget and verify the current amounts for the chosen procedure and each family applicant.
