How Much of the Overall Investment Needs to be Committed

Not all of the investment need be committed. The rules provide that: -

“…a reasonable amount of cash, held in a business bank account or similar fund to be used for routine business operations may be counted as investment funds.”

In reality as a good rule of thumb you should have committed (paid monies into an escrow account) 75-85% of the total investment to buy and set up the business in most cases. If the purchase price is marginally up to $100,000 then the full amount must be committed. I will certainly offer specific guidance on a case-by-case basis.
