EB-5 BUSINESS PLAN WRITERS
Benjamin Jarmon
Joorney Business Plans
The story behind Joorney Business Plans,
founded in 2013 by CEO Benjamin
Jarmon, is the same as the one you must
be going through right now. Jarmon
was working as a business development
consultant for a large commodities
trading company when he decided to
open his own company and use his
consulting skills to help entrepreneurs
and companies with their start up needs.
In order to do that, Jarmon had to
first obtain an E-2 Visa. He went to accountants and lawyers to draft his Business
Plan, but none seemed to understand
the subtleties of the business model and
strategy he was seeking. So instead, Jarmon
decided to create his business plan on his
own, as he has done dozens of times in the
past for clients of his employer. The plan’s
creation took much longer than expected,
and required more technical knowledge
than he could provide on his own. The
process led him to create the unique
service that Joorney offers for these specific
Business Plans needs.
Joorney’s mission is now to provide
premier quality Business Plans and market
research for investors looking to immigrate
to the United States. Members of the
firm speak English, French, Spanish,
Portuguese, Chinese, and Hebrew. They
collectively have over 20 years of writing
and consulting experience. Joorney has
locations in France, New York, Miami and
San Francisco.
Jarmon’s firm offers Business Plans for
E-1, E-2, L-1, EB-5, H1-B Visa Applications,
as well as Market Research and Financial
Projections services, all of which are created
by skilled professional writers, and reviewed
by trained financial and market analysts,
certified translators and top notch graphic
designers. Writing services include market
studies, which consist of an industry analysis,
demographics, SWOT analysis, pricing
analysis, and state and city market analysis;
investor decks, which concisely present via
PowerPoint documentation such as products,
marketing info, and organizational structure;
and re-write services, including industry
analysis, market & competition analysis, and
financial projections.
Jarmon earned his Master’s Degree in
Finance from Universite Paris Dauphine
in Paris, France, and his Master of Arts in
International Economics and Finance from
Brandeis International Business School.
Mr. Jarmon is personally fluent in French,
English, and Spanish.

Lazicki maintains a popular weblog
that provides EB-5 news and information for readers around the world, and
serves on the Editorial Committee for
the Association to Invest in the USA
(IIUSA). Her articles and presentations
include the chapter on business plans
in Immigration Options for Investors
& Entrepreneurs, 3rd Ed. published
by the American Immigration Lawyers
Association. Lazicki’s EB-5 practice has
developed with the industry.
When she signed her first client,
there were 78 regional centers, about
1,000 EB-5 investments in a year, and
few EB-5 specialists. In 2016, there are
over 800 regional centers and 22,000
pending investor petitions. EB-5 has
become a mainstream capital source, a
popular path to citizenship, a frequent
news topic, a priority for the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security
and the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and a major job creator
not only in investment projects but also
for a constellation of service providers. A
fully-fledged EB-5 industry has emerged,
driven by growing demand, increased
competition, and heightened scrutiny.
EB-5 investments are taken seriously
as investments, not just as part of an
immigration program.
This moves business plans to center
stage. A strong business plan can bear
scrutiny by the immigration service
and by investors, brokers, and security
regulators. It presents a clear, attractive,
consistent, well-supported, and accurate
picture of a proposal, and anticipates
questions and concerns. The successful
EB-5 plan is the end of a process that
begins with understanding how EB-5
immigration and investment work.
Lazicki helps clients to keep up with
industry developments and the pressure
on EB-5 docu ments from an ever larger,
more diverse, and more sophisticated
audience.
