Direct Investment by an EB-5 Applicant
In addition to investing through regional centers, EB-5 applicants also have the option to make a direct investment in the United States. This pathway allows investors to actively participate in the management and development of their chosen business. Here are the main options available for direct investment:
Purchasing an Existing Business: EB-5 applicants can choose to invest in an existing business in the United States. This option provides the advantage of acquiring a business with an established customer base, infrastructure, and operational history. It allows investors to build upon an existing foundation and potentially accelerate growth.
Investing in a Troubled Business: Another option for direct investment is to invest in a troubled business. A troubled business is defined as a business that has been in existence for at least two years and has incurred a net loss of at least 20% of its net worth during the past two years. By investing in a troubled business, EB-5 applicants can help revitalize and stabilize the enterprise, creating new job opportunities.
Starting Your Own Business: For those who have an entrepreneurial spirit, starting their own business in the United States is a viable option. This allows applicants to bring their innovative ideas and expertise to the market, creating a new business from the ground up. Starting a business requires thorough planning, market analysis, and a solid business plan to demonstrate the potential for job creation and economic growth.
Direct investments require a comprehensive business plan, financial projections, and documentation to support the viability and job creation potential of the investment. It is important for EB-5 applicants considering a direct investment to conduct thorough due diligence, seek professional guidance, and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
