Question:
How can I list my company for an EB-5 project? I have a company based in Atlanta with 160 employees. I am considering forming a separate entity in the same industry. The plan would be to grow it and sell within 3-5 years as a way to cash out without selling my current company. Creating 10 jobs is very easy and can be done within 6 months. Is EB-5 a good option for me? It clearly would be for the person(s) seeking return and immigration. How can I begin seeking EB-5 investors for this project?
Answers:
First contact an experienced EB-5 law firm such as ours and we will be able to advise you immediately if the correct direction. You ask a number of important questions which need to be analyzed so that we can provide clear solutions. For instance, based upon the brief facts you present you may set up a direct EB-5 project and show the required creation of full time jobs. Once we provide a review and offer directions you will be ready to start a dialogue with the groups who source the investors.
Retaining EB-5 counsel, like our law firm, would help set up the project for compliance with EB-5 rules and regulations, but to also make it marketable to EB-5 investors. Experienced EB-5 attorneys like us also have strong relationships with sources of these investors.
