WHAT WE DO
Assessment, Sourcing, Compliance.
Project Assessment: We review the Project’s business plan, offering documents, financial needs, and timing to determine if EB-5 financing will meet project goals.
Investor Assessment: We review the investor’s personal and financial background, and relocation goals and timing to determine if EB-5 investment will meet the investor’s needs.
Investor Sourcing: We can guide the Project in its overseas EB-5 fund raising efforts.
Ongoing Compliance: We provide annual reports to the USCIS on Investor immigration status, Project funding, and Job Creation.
OUR MISSION
We link Individual Foreign Investors with growing Hawaii businesses and help both comply with the federal EB-5 program.
