Less than the gross figure. Tax on the distribution, professional fees for structuring it, currency conversion and transfer charges all reduce it, and the source company still needs enough left to meet its own obligations. Calculate the net amount with an accountant before deciding what the U.S. enterprise can be capitalized with.
Work from the net figure onwards
Take the net proceeds and allocate them deliberately: capital placed in the enterprise, working capital held inside it, and household reserves kept outside. Immigration professional fees and government charges belong in the third category, not the first, and current official amounts should be confirmed when each step is taken. If the net figure is smaller than the plan assumed, revisit the size or model of the venture rather than describing costs already spent as invested capital.
Hypothetical example: an owner of a specialty printing business calculates the venture against the company's cash balance and finds, after tax on the distribution and transfer costs, that roughly a quarter less reaches the United States than the plan assumed. A first review would have started from the net figure and sized the venture to it, rather than sizing the venture first and discovering the shortfall afterwards. It would also have kept the immigration and professional fees outside the investment column entirely, since they are costs of the process rather than capital placed in the enterprise.
