What are the advantages of EB5AN State of Maryland Regional Center affiliation for your project?

Renting our EB-5 regional center is the best way to…

1. Gather EB-5 investment funding for your project quickly.

The EB5AN Maryland EB-5 regional center, with complete coverage of the state, will make it possible for you to search for EB-5 investment capital anywhere in Frederick. Like all the regional centers EB5AN operates, this is a USCIS-approved regional center.

2. Fulfill EB-5 program requirements easily.

EB5AN business affiliation allows EB-5 projects to include their wider economic impact in their job creation totals, since they can count indirect jobs in addition to direct jobs (direct employees of the new business). This difference between the direct and regional center investment models enables developers to fund their projects with a higher percentage of EB-5 capital.

3. Expedite the affiliation process so you can start raising capital.

Our professional team will help you determine the potential economic impact of your project, including its job creation numbers and ability to support EB-5 capital, and whether it’s suited to affiliation with our Frederick regional center. We’ll proceed through the regional center affiliation process so you can turn your attention to generating EB-5 investment funds.

Is your project located in a targeted employment area?

Because targeted employment area (TEA) designation holds numerous benefits for EB-5 projects in Frederick and other cities, it is important to understand both the benefits of and the USCIS process for TEA designation. To determine whether your EB-5 project location falls within a TEA, please consult our free EB-5 TEA map, which includes data for the entire United States. All you need to do is to enter the project address—the rest of the process is automated.

The EB5AN TEA map relies on the most recently published versions of two data sets, namely American Community Survey (ACS) five-year data and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. It assesses TEA eligibility based on four calculation methodologies USCIS accepts—three related to calculating unemployment rates and one related to qualification as a rural TEA. Unemployment rates are calculated using (1) American Community Survey (ACS) five-year unemployment data by census tract, (2) the census-share methodology, which is based on a combination of ACS data and county-level BLS data, and (3) BLS county-level data for TEA determination on a county-wide level. To determine rural qualification, population and geographical data are considered. To qualify as a TEA, a project site needs to qualify under only one calculation method.

A TEA can also be created by combining directly adjacent census tracts and considering the weighted average unemployment rate. The EB5AN TEA map performs this function automatically.

If you confirm that your EB-5 regional center is located in a TEA in Frederick, you can also use the EB5AN TEA map to instantly download a free TEA Qualification Report that shows all the data and calculations that support TEA qualification for your project location. Should you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact the EB5AN team by phone at 1-800-288-9138 or via e-mail at info@eb5an.com. We promise to respond within 24 hours.
