Profit Requirements

Q: At the end of the two year period, to remove the restriction, does the business created have to make profits? Or can the business lose money as long as the ten job creation requirement is satisfied?

A: There is no “profit” requirement in the statue or regulations. As long as the investment has been made and is at risk of loss and the required jobs have been created there is no additional profitability requirement.
