Revive a Troubled Business: EB-5 Green Card

Secure U.S. Residency with Impact

Welcome to Part 6 of the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram’s EB-5 Green Card series! We’re excited to explore the Troubled Business option, turning challenges into your path to permanent U.S. residency.

What Is a Troubled Business?

The EB-5 program incentivizes investors to rescue businesses in financial distress. Invest $900,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA—rural or high-unemployment) or $1.2 million elsewhere, unlocking high-potential ventures.

Troubled Business Criteria

A business qualifies if it:

• Operates for two years,

• Shows a net loss over 12–24 months,

• Losses equal 20% of prior net worth.

Requirements for Success

• Maintain Jobs: Keep existing employee levels for two years.

• Create Jobs: If under 10 employees, preserve jobs and add enough to reach 10 full-time positions.
