Hi all

I am exploring possibilities to move to the USA to maximize my chances of buying businesses within the renewable/energy efficiency sectors.

I started to search the SBA loan eligibility for non-USA Citizens with Legal Permanent Resident status or with VISA.

It looks like there might be three challenges : . personal credit score (minimum 640) . personal guarantee. . VISA-specific purpose and for a temporary period. I wonder if there are restrictions on what I can do or not do under the VISA.

I then had some Time Thinking process with a few questions popping up…

I would be super grateful if one of the SBA loan experts in the SearchFunder network could help by sharing any insights or recommendations on the following questions:


. How can I accelerate my credit score eligibility for an SBA loan when arriving (or before arriving) in the USA to reach 640 the fastest way?

. Do you need US-based collateral as a personal guarantee or is it only an unsecured personal guarantee ?

. Do you know a VISA advisor I can reach to check the best way to prepare my VISA to allow me to be eligible for a SBA loan?

. Do you know/experienced any other challenge meeting eligibility for SBA as a Non-Citizen - new Legal Permanent Resident in the USA?

. Is there anything I can plan before arriving in the USA that can help SBA Loan eligibility?


I will most likely Partner with US Resident which might help also…

Luis
