Direct EB-5 Investment (Stand Alone)

Simply put, the Direct EB-5 Investment option is where you can invest in your own business, establish a new business and be in control of your investment. This is a great option if you want to manage your own business and be active in the company/project.

To qualify, you must invest at least $8,000,000 in a project that is located in Target Employment Area (T.E.A) or $1 Million in a project that is located outside of a Targeted Employment Area. The investment in the business must be in the form of cash, equipment, inventory, and other tangible property. Generally, loans do not qualify unless they are secured by assets owned by the investor (not the business), who is personally and primarily liable.

Under the law and the guidelines, the investment must also be in a “new commercial enterprise.”  You can establish your own brand-new company or a business that was recently established. Any business formed after November 29, 1990, may qualify.

There is no limit to the number of EB-5 direct investment partners on any given new commercial ventures, as long as each partner that is applying for the EB-5 Green Card invests at least $800,000, and each investment results in the creation of at least 10 new full-time jobs. Therefore, it is allowed if you and other family members, partners, or others want to invest as a group in a new commercial venture.

Of course, your investment must create 10 new full-time jobs for U.S workers (not including you and your family). These jobs must be direct jobs which means hiring for 10 full-time positions. The only exception to this requirement is if the company that you are investing in is considered a “troubled business,” and experiencing a net loss for one or two years of more than 20% of its net worth.

Direct Investment Benefits

The direct investment option is preferred if you are seeking to open and operate your own commercial enterprises in the United States. If you are seeking to have full control over the investments and/or looking to build successful businesses in the United States.
Generally, depending on the type of business, this means you would like to invest in a more urban and business-friendly area that may not qualify as a Target Employment Area (T.E.A.) due to the local unemployment rate. If the investor chooses to open your business in an area that does not qualify as a T.E.A., then the investment must be $1,050 Million for each investor in the business instead of $800,000. Generally, direct EB-5 investments are more suitable if you desire to have greater control, you’re your investments and operate independently.
