4 Business Investment Opportunities for EB-5 Investors
When a person is considering moving to the United States with an EB-5 visa, he or she may have a few investment options available. In particular, there are four major types of businesses in which an investor may put their $1,000,000, or specially targeted $500,000, investment fund. According to the program, this money may only go to specific American businesses.
If you’re thinking about coming to the United States and applying for permanent residency, you may want to consider the benefits of the EB-5 program. For more information about this immigration program, contact an EB-5 immigration lawyer of White & Associates by calling 818-730-3540.
Major Business Investment Opportunities
The regulations for EB-5 investments are specifically tailored to support certain types of businesses, in particular those that are new or troubled. If a business doesn’t fit these criteria, a person may not be able to invest in it for the purposes of an EB-5 application. The following types of businesses may be investment opportunities for EB-5 applicants:
- Businesses created after November 29, 1990
- Businesses reorganized into new ventures after the investment
- Businesses created out of the investment
- Certain businesses that are drastically bolstered by the investment
These rules are meant to keep investors from putting their money into established businesses that present little risk and equally little chance of significant expansion due to the investment.
