Return on Investment (ROI) Insights

‍

EB-5 and E-2 are immigration-first pathways, but ROI varies by investment type.

‍

EB-5 Regional Center projects often offer modest annual returns (0.25%–2%), with capital returned after 5–7 years, subject to project success. These investments are typically in mezzanine debt or preferred equity tranches—low risk but illiquid.

‍

Direct EB-5 ventures may yield higher returns (5%–12%) but carry operational and market risks. Franchise models or SME acquisitions are common.

‍

E-2 businesses range from franchises to new startups. Return depends on execution, scalability, and market fit. Investors often target cash flow within 12–18 months. ROI can reach 15%–25% in well-managed ventures, but failure rates remain high.

‍

Legal structuring—such as holding companies or family trusts—can help preserve equity, streamline tax, and manage operational control.
