Difficulties in getting Debt Financing with a US visa

by a searcher from Erasmus University Rotterdam

1 week ago

I've heard that securing debt financing for a company acquisition is significantly more difficult if the searcher holds a US visa rather than a green card or citizenship. Is that true?
If so, wouldn’t this make the search process in the US far less appealing for non-permanent US residents? Any ways around?

I agree entirely with ^Searchfunder member‌. To proceed, you'll need to partner with a U.S. citizen or green card holder who will serve as the majority owner. Their guarantee needs to hold merit and satisfy the requirements.
