EB-5 Financing: How It Affects Your Business

Securing alternative financing remains an important aspect of dealmaking in the United States.  The Immigrant Investor Program, also known as “EB-5,” was created in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by immigrant investors.  GT’s EB-5 seminar will provide important details on the issues impacting businesses seeking alternative financing through the use of the EB-5 Foreign Investor program, specifically through the use of EB-5 Regional Centers.  Public and private entities considering using the EB-5 program to finance commercial and public projects are encouraged to participate.
