Hi, I have gone through the criteria ,my confusion is for 188 A the asset criteria given is as given below
Business Innovation stream
You must:
be under 55 years of age, although a state or territory can waive this requirement if your proposed business will be of exceptional economic benefit to the nominating state or territory.
score at least 65 on the points test
for two out of the four fiscal years immediately before you are invited to apply, have had an ownership interest in an established business or businesses that had at least AUD500 000 turnover in each of those years
own at least one of the following percentage of your nominated main business:
51 per cent, if the business has a turnover of less than AUD400 000 per year
30 per cent, if the business has a turnover of AUD400 000 or more per year
10 per cent, if the business is a publicly listed company
have an overall successful business career
have a genuine desire to continuously own and maintain a management role in a business in Australia.
If your nominated main business provides professional, technical or trade services, you must have spent no more than half your time providing those services, as opposed to general management of the business.
At the time of invitation, you, your partner, or you and your partner combined must have total net assets of at least AUD800 000 that are lawfully acquired and available for legal transfer to Australia within two years of the visa being granted.
Here it is not mentioned for the assets to be held by the applicant for the last two fiscal years before they apply.
But in the point table it is mentioned to claim points
Financial assets
Net business and personal assets of you, your partner or you and your partner combined in each of the preceding two years of at least:
AUD800 000
5
AUD1.3 million
15
AUD1.8 million
25
AUD2.25 million
