EB-5 Broker DealerYes. You are allowed to expand your existing business to qualify for EB-5. Essentially, you need to invest another $200,000 for a total investment amount of $500,000 if your business is located in a targeted employment area (TEA), and $ 700,000 more for a total investment amount of $1 million if your business is not located in a TEA. You also must employ at least four more employees. Of course, these investment numbers are scheduled to go up by Nov. 21 of this year, so you will need to file before the deadline if you do not want to be subject to the increased investment amounts of $900,000 and $1.8 million respectively.
