Franchises Usually STINK for EB-5

Regardless of what you hear from anyone trying to SELL you a franchise, these deals usually will fail for EB-5 purposes.  Ask yourself how a business model that relies almost exclusively on a part-time workforce could possibly create 10 FULL-TIME jobs PER INVESTOR.  The long and short of it is that you MUST have an IDEAL location BUT the overwhelming majoritry of such IDEAL locations were taken years, perhaps DECADES ago! The attached pdf contains something of a "case study" in the futility of this concept.  While the case involves a Regional Center Proposal/Application, by extension, it will also inform any investor considering filing an I-526 involving a franchise purchase whether with or without Regional Center affiliation.  Please follow the link in the attached to the complete AAO non-precednt case decision as it touches on several other key points beyond the topic of this particular post.  Visit: http://www.slideshare.net/BigJoe5

Stay informed and ahead of the game because the alternative is to be ignorant and doomed to failure!
