Regional Center vs Direct EB-5

速览

Regional Center investors pool capital into pre-vetted projects ($800K). Direct EB-5 means you operate your own business and create 10 jobs yourself ($1.05M).

Over 95% of EB-5 investors choose the Regional Center route. The economic, immigration, and time-cost differences are substantial.

  • Regional Center: Pool capital with other investors in an SEC-regulated project. Job creation calculated via indirect economic models (RIMS II). $800K rural / $800K urban / $1.05M baseline.
  • Direct EB-5: You found and operate the business yourself. Must create 10 W-2 employees within 2 years. Day-to-day operational responsibility. $1.05M baseline ($800K if in a TEA).
  • Risk profile: Regional Center diversifies execution risk across a team of operators. Direct EB-5 concentrates risk in your own ability to run the business.
  • Timeline: Regional Center investors are typically passive (limited partners). Direct EB-5 investors are W-2 active managers.

Direct EB-5 makes sense for experienced operators with US business plans. For everyone else, Regional Center is the dominant choice.

Beyond 如何处理

Beyond is a Regional Center sponsor with our own approved project (Beyond Paradise 1) — meaning no third-party fees, direct accountability, and aligned incentives.
