Can a sports team get EB-5 investors?

No reason they can not provide they can meet the 10 new jobs provision.

Yes. As a commercial entity established in the U.S., as long as it meets the requisite job-hiring criteria, etc., it is possible.

If it can create 10 jobs directly or indirectly, then it may qualify for an EB-5.

If the sports team conforms to the requirements of the EB-5 investment.

There is no restriction on the business venture that the investors could invest in as long as their investment in the business creates the requisite 10 full-time positions per investor. If the project you are thinking about will need capital from more than one investor, then most likely the regional center structure would be the appropriate one.

Assuming your commercial for-profit enterprise can create at lease 10 full-time positions per EB-5 investor as supported by a comprehensive EB-5-compliant business plan, then yes. A full-time position must be permanent and at least 35 hours/week. Please consult an experienced EB-5 immigration attorney to discuss further.

It&#39s a corporation. Therefore, if you can meet the job quota requirements for the EB-5 program, you could finance the corporation with EB-5 investor-sourced funding.

Yes, a foreign national may qualify through the EB-5 program based upon a qualifying investment in any legitimate business, including a new professional league, provided that the rules and regulations of the league permit foreign investment. Most importantly, the investment should meet the qualifications in terms of the minimum amount of investment and job creation. If you are seeking to obtain multiple investors, it might be necessary to do so through a regional center in order to have a larger job count.

With the right team of professionals to set up the EB-5 project structure, any for-profit business can become an EB-5 project. I&#39d like to think of the immigration attorney as the quarterback. One of the team members could be a broker-dealer or marketing agent to help find investors.

Sure you can, with proper planning. We have done many hundreds of EB-5 cases.
