I'm evaluating an opportunity with multinational operations and personnel. While the majority of sales generated and personnel are located in the US with mostly backoffice operations in non-US markets, the parent entity is a non-US entity.
Does anyone have experience with transferring ownership of a non-US entity to a US entity to qualify for SBA-7a? I'm sure this isn't trivial but trying to determine feasibility, level of effort, and risk factors around a potential solution to qualifying for SBA financing here.
