CT41G is sent by HMRC when the business first registers for corporation tax.

Question 1
Shall my business partners (Business 2 above) be signing my business plan and/or my visa application? I'm NOT applying as a part of an entrepreneurial team, my business partners are British. We all have access to this business account, but we haven't invested any money yet, and I'm not submitting this account statement.
Thank you!

Question 2
From the Guide to supporting documents, page 2:

Initial Applications - Evidence of money available to make a fresh investment
A letter from each financial institution holding your funds
Each letter must also confirm each of the following details:
...
- the amount of money available to the applicant, or the business that they are running, from any third party (if applicable) that are held in that institution. This must confirm that the third party has informed the institution the amount of money being made available, and this money is not being made available to any other person
...

I'm relying on the third-party investment re Business 2.
I was going to provide an account statement (covering 90 days), third party declaration and a legal declaration confirming signatures. Is it not enough?
Do I need a letter from their bank in addition to the declaration etc saying that they "have informed the institution the amount of money being made available, and this money is not being made available to any other person"?

Thank you!

Dear forum, I wd really really appreciate your help ))
I'm a director (not an owner) of a company. Shall the company shareholders be signing my business plan?
Third party funding: I'm providing third party statements, their declaration plus a legal declaration. Is that enough?
Thank you!

Question 3
I'm showing money available for investment on my own account (50) plus third party money (another 50)
On the next stage (extending the visa) will I have to show I've invested all 100, or only the minimum required amount 50?
Thank you!
