· Defined Exit Strategy - The term of the loan to the government agency is six years. When all public sector investments are paid back, the investors simply vote to liquidate the partnership. There is nothing to sell and, you are not dependent upon a market place (such as real estate) for return of your original capital.
· Low Risk Investment - Investment is made within a government agency that has the power to raise funds through several sources such as tax revenue, bonds, state and federal grants. Additionally, each agency has oversight by various joint powers authorities.
· Approved Proof of Jobs Methodology - Investors should be very interested in the details of any EB-5 program and paramount to understanding EB-5 is proving new jobs. CMB combines investor capital with government funds and private capital to multiply the effects its investment capital has on job creation thus creating many more new jobs than required. Proof of jobs is the single leading cause of denial for potions under the EB-5 program. The problem with finding out that the jobs are not provable from an investor standpoint is that it is too late once they find out the jobs are not there! The investors are already in the investment irrevocably. Proof of jobs should be the first consideration of every EB-5 investor!
· Transparency Of Investment - Investors in CMB have a right to access to partnership records. The government entity financial records are also available. Thus our investors can see all the financial records of all parties.
· 4% Cap on Business Expenses - An investor can expect a modest return on their investment as a 4% return is all that is needed to turn a profit. Investors are without worry that a “poor” performing investment may result in losses on both return on investment and day to day expenses.
· High Unemployment Area - Investors must also understand that each program must provide proof that the investment qualifies as a high-unemployment area. CMB has maps and letters from the state of California verifying our TEA status. This is done without manipulation of data, which would risk denial for our client’s petitions.
· Convenient California Location - California has a vibrant economy and would have the world’s seventh largest economy if it were its own country. California is also the United States gateway to the Pacific Rim.
· Escrow Account Used to Protect the Investor - CMB uses in escrow account in both Asia and the United States. Our client’s funds are deposited in the accounts and only released to the partnership on a successful I-526 petition. CMB has no access to the client’s funds unless the petition is approved.
· Strategic Partnership with Co-Invest - This partnership allows you access to an in-Asia representative of CMB. They are available to assist in the entire process for all CMB clients.
· Overall Simplicity of the Program - We invest funds through a loan agreement with a government agency. Nothing to sell, rent, or actively manage day to day. The return is fixed at 5% and the principal is safe. The job creation methodology is approved at the I-526 and is the same at the I-829. The exit strategy is simple.
