Capital Equity Available for New and Expanding Northern Nevada Companies

The Nevada State EB-5 Regional Center in Carson City, Nev. offers education to local businesses on acquiring foreign capital investment through an equity model opportunity. Utilizing the equity model through NVEB-5 is another option for Northern Nevada businesses exploring the EB-5 Program, and is available to existing companies looking to expand their operations or new ventures with completed business plans.

NVEB-5 is offering interested parties one-on-one information sessions specifically discussing equity positioning. The equity model is effective for smaller projects with anticipated new job creation of approximately 12 or more positions. For additional information, please contact NVEB-5 at: 775.600.4090 or 855.498.6360.

NVEB-5 is a non-profit EB-5 Regional Center dedicated to creating local jobs and building our local economy by bringing new and expanding companies/project developers together with foreign capital investors.

The equity model of the EB-5 Program is a supplemental capital option for Northern Nevada businesses which differs from the loan model. The foreign investors receive a minor equity position in the project in exchange for direct capital investment. The equity model offers quicker access to capital compared to the traditional EB-Program models and lower fees if the business has an existing relationship with a foreign investor.

The Administrator for NVEB-5, Lynn Beteag, said, “As a non-profit EB-5 Regional Center, we are pleased to have the opportunity to offer Northern Nevada businesses the equity model for capital acquisition. The equity model is a powerful supplement to a company’s capital portfolio. It enables expanding and new companies the ability to participate in the EB-5 program and reap the many benefits such as flexible terms and quicker access to capital in exchange for a very small percentage of equity in the project.”

The benefit of the EB-5 program to the foreign investor is they may obtain legal entry through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) program.
