When to use this workbook

Use this owner funding source review workbook to connect original funding source, transfer chain and entity receiving funds before the next review. Keep the three records distinct so a missing item is visible.

Trace the movement from the owner or lender to the receiving business. Separate ownership documents, repayment terms and the ledger entry instead of inferring the arrangement from a bank description.

Review checkpoint: Cash movement alone does not settle whether the item is capital, debt, compensation or a distribution. An ambiguous agreement belongs on the reviewer’s question list.

Turn the record into a review handoff

For owner funding source review, start the handoff with the connection between original funding source and transfer chain. Then identify what entity receiving funds still needs to establish. The exported sheet should make that relationship clear without replacing the original documents.

List the person collecting evidence separately from the professional deciding treatment. A blank field is a request for follow-up, not a zero, an approval or a concluded answer. Keep the supporting documents in your agreed secure record system; this public page accepts no document uploads.
