- Equipment, operating capital for growing seasons, and processing facility investment are all eligible

- Funding from $200K to $5M with consideration for seasonal agricultural revenue patterns
Agriculture has a long history as an E-2 visa investment category. USCIS has approved E-2 petitions for crop farming, greenhouse operations, livestock production, and value-added food processing as qualifying E-2 investments when the operation is actively managed by the investor. Mexican nationals use E-2 visas to establish specialty produce farming operations in California, Arizona, and Florida, leveraging expertise and market relationships developed in Mexico. Colombian investors operate cut flower greenhouses and tropical fruit operations in Florida. Israeli agricultural technology entrepreneurs establish precision farming operations that serve both domestic and export markets.
Agricultural revenue is well-documented through USDA records, crop insurance policies, wholesale buyer contracts, and commodity marketing agreements. These documents — familiar to agricultural lenders but often treated as exotic by general business lenders — are standard documentation for Bankable’s underwriting team, which includes professionals with agricultural sector experience.
