No. State the actual operating stage and have the investment and process timing assessed. A planned opening is not a completed result or permission to work.
Use milestones honestly
Identify contracts, premises and launch steps already secured. Do not assume a commercial announcement changes the classification’s requirements or guarantees government timing.
Identify who can adjust closing and release conditions in the agreement, and confirm the correct consular or status process for the applicant before treating either the closing date or a travel date as fixed. Set milestones of your own: entity and ownership, funds trail complete, premises and stock committed, projections rebuilt on non-exclusive terms, final review. Work backwards from the target opening, then add contingency for evidence gathering, corporate formation, funds transfer and government processing, and check the resulting date against the cycle. Pre-launch readiness can be shown through binding commitments — lease, supply contract, equipment orders, licence applications, staffing plan — rather than completed sales. Certain investment-in-process and escrow arrangements can support a filing before a transaction fully closes, so the sequencing should follow a review of the specific proposed terms rather than a general assumption that closing must come first.
