No. A budget describes resources but should connect to genuine services and responsibilities. Larger spending does not automatically establish managerial capacity.
Explain what the expenditure provides
Separate routine business costs from petition and advisory charges. Do not inflate a forecast to suggest support that the proposed operation cannot actually obtain.
The base filing structure follows the standard USCIS fee schedule; additional cost usually comes from the extra evidence-gathering the continuity issue requires, not from a separate government charge. The larger and less visible costs are corporate: incorporating the U.S. entity, issuing and recording shares, opening banking, securing premises, and producing financial statements or an accountant's letter showing that both companies are actively trading. Where a material change occurs, an amended petition carries its own charge, and the associated professional work of re-documenting the ownership chain is often larger than the original because two structures must now be explained.
L-1A requires a primarily managerial or executive American role plus one continuous year of qualifying foreign employment in the previous three years with a related parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate; a salary increase supplies none of those elements.
