<p>Comment: Three Kinds of E2</p>
<p>
<p>
We sent out a request for information regarding E2s last week, and received
a number of responses. We learnt that there are three kinds of E2s.
</p>
<ol>
<li>
80% of the E2s are done for small businesses owned by principal
investors. The investment amounts range from $100K to $200K with 2 to 3
employees.
</li>
<li>
Almost all of the remaining 20% are franchises. This category of E2 is
well defined and a number of immigration attorneys and business plan
writers have extensive experience with franchise based E2s.
</li>
<li>
There have been a dozen unsuccessful attempts to do scalable E2s where
resources of many investors are pooled conjointly to execute different
parts of the project under professional management.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Over 99% of immigration attorneys have not heard of this kind of scalable
E2s. However, the EB5 industry is making a determined effort on this kind
of E2s, and we believe that more than half a dozen scalable E2 projects are
in the pipeline. We are keen to hear about this third kind of E2 deals. If
you are doing or planning to do this kind of E2, please get in touch with
us (we would like to know only the general parameters, kind of industry,
size of the venture etc).
