HOW CAN SOMEONE BEST PARTNER
WITH A BROKER-DEALER? HOW CAN
IT BENEFIT THE EB-5 INDUSTRY?
Broker dealers serve as an agent to help the “new
commercial enterprise” raise capital in compliance with US
securities laws. Broker dealers will advise on marketable
investment structures that are also suitable for investors,
so it is best to get a broker dealer involved early in the
process before the structure and offering documents are
final. Broker dealers have a trusted place in the securities
industry to maintain the integrity of financial markets,
which will benefit investors and the industry by ensuring
compliance, which will reduce the opportunity for fraud
to ensure the long-term health of the industry.
WHAT’S THE PLAN FOR FUTURE
EXPANSIONS?
Constant change is one thing that is certain. With
changing global conditions and pending EB-5 legislation,
our future expansion plans include refining our services
to meet the “integrity measures” that will come to regional
centers, and to leverage the Baker Tilly International
network to respond to geopolitical events that may spark
demand for EB-5 in countries not presently served by the
market. Further down the road, our plans include forming
a private equity fund to bridge EB-5 capital raises.
