How can I get an EB-5 investor to invest in my business?

This is a complex question but fundamentally is boiled down to your ability to market your business to prospective investors that may be interested in such an investment after they’ve conducted appropriate due diligence. We would recommend that you and any investor contact appropriate attorneys and CPAs to discuss the deal to ensure you both have legal and financial advice ahead of completing the transaction.

No magic answer. Many Regional Centers retain agents in various countries to look for investors.

Yes, but because EB-5 investor will invest in your existing business, the investor needs to restructure your business, that is to increase the net worth or number of employees by 40% and at the same time, creating 10 qualifying employees. For example, if your business has 10 employees, the EB-5 investor's funds need to hire 10 new employees to meet the 40% increase of the number of employees and the creation of 10 new jobs.

There may be multiple ways to obtain residence, but more information from you is needed. If you established your company originally and have created 10 or more jobs for U.S. workers, or it will create 10 or more jobs, then you may be able to utilize your investment in the business towards your EB-5 investment and job creation threshold. If you acquired your business and there were already jobs in place, then you may have to create 10 or more jobs. Best to further discuss this.
