Who are we and what do we do for our clients?

We specialize in providing business and real estate brokerage and advisory services to small business owners, and turnkey services to E2 and EB-5 visa investors who wish to start businesses or buy real estate. We've the most successful track record in EB-5 visas under the Direct Investment Business category with 100% approval rate since 2004.

We're also famous for offering the following guarantees to ALL our EB-5 and E2 visa clients:

1) A FULL Fee refund if our client is rejected due to our fault (such as negligence or incompetence on our part) or the fault of the CPA or Attorney who hire to represent them. Obviously this doesn't apply if the client is rejected due to reasons such as health or security reasons attributed directly to the client.

2) A written guarantee of FULL disclosure of material facts AND ZERO FRAUD or Conflict of Interest. Our competitors usually REFUSE to offer this guarantee as they do engage in fraud and conflict of interest, while we always put our client's interests first. Go on, ask our competitors if they will provide the same guarantees we provide, and when they refuse, you will understand why we're the safest option for EB-5 visa and E2 visa investors.

We also provide business management services to EB-5 clients, where we manage businesses on behalf of our clients and only charge a management fee IF we are able to pay 10% dividend to our client out of operating profits. This is a much better deal than that offered by regional centers or "partnerships", where investors are lucky to see even 1% annual ROE, and usually experience capital loss instead of capital gains. This service is only available in Florida and California. In plain words, an investor who starts a business with $500,000 equity will get the first $50,000 in annual net profits, and in case the business doesn't earn even $50,000 in annual net profits, we will manage it for FREE! If an EB-5 client's  business was started with $500,000 in equity and sold for $800,000, our client would get to keep $225,000 in the capital gains. This is a great deal that is NOT offered by regional centers, partnerships or any of our competitors, and we can offer deals like these simply because we place our clients in solid businesses such as KFC, 5 Guys, Auto Parts stores, car rental franchises, motorcycle & auto dealerships, etc.

Since 2004, we've helped 60 investors obtain EB-5 immigrant investor visas and also helped 9 E2 visa investors obtain visas by buying and / or starting businesses in the US. We also offer business brokerage, business advisory, escrow, 1031 exchange and reverse 1031 exchange services for our clients in CA & FL. We have the best track record of any business broker in the US when it comes to helping EB-5 visa investors get approved (and usually earn a solid profit in the process), to the point that we confidently offer the investor their fees back if their EB-5 visa petition is denied due to any deficiency in our services or the services of our associated attorneys and CPAs, and we will also sell their business(es) for free. Since 2004, we've never had a client ask for their money back as we work hard to ensure that our clients do well in their business. As a matter of fact, since 2004, none of our EB-5 visa clients earned less than 15% annual ROE, and none of our EB-5 visa clients suffered a capital loss. We wish to advise our prospective clients that results seen by our past clients are not a guarantee that future clients will also see the same results. We are confident that none of our competitors such as regional centers, partnership promoters and third rate franchise promoters can even come close to beating our record.

Our FEE refund guarantee is NOT applicable to exit policies or return on income or capital gains, but due to our customer focused approach, we are proud to announce that since 2004, NONE of our clients have ever experienced capital loss or had trouble selling their businesses when they chose to sell, or had less than 15% annual ROI (usually it is over 22% annually). Our competitors don't put their money where their mouth is, while we do. We're confident enough about our services to offer a fee refund guarantee, while our competitors (such as those who sell risky franchises, regional center securities and partnership securities) don't offer these guarantees, and actually expect clients to pay for their mistakes.
