If we own a property for the last 10 yrs since 2009, that became qualified into an opportunity ZONE, do we get to reap the tax benefits if we own it for another 10 more yrs ?
Unfortunately, under the current regulations, you can't derive any Opportunity Zone tax benefits from the property simply by holding it for another 10 years.

Unfortunately, under the current regulations, you can't derive any Opportunity Zone tax benefits from the property simply by holding it for another 10 years. However, should you sell the property to a development group to develop/redevelop the property, you could invest your capital gains in that project and derive the Opportunity Zone benefits in that manner. As the current property owner, you would be limited to a 19.9% interest in the new entity created to develop/redevelop the property. I hope this helps. If you have further questions, please let me know.

Since your question is rather broad, it is difficult to answer with specifics. It would be helpful to know what the proposed aquisition is? Is it an ongoing business, a franchise, is it a public or privately held business? In general, the methods range from traditional financing to IPO's to GoFundMe to private or angel invertors. If the person inquiring can provide more specifics, we'll craft an answer and recommendations suited to the specifics.
Thanks for the opportunity to be of service!

I want to start a business in an Opportunity Zone. How do I raise capital that allows my investors to receive the tax benefits associated with investments into Qualified Opportunity Zones?

You would need to create an entity that operates out of a Qualified Opportunity Zone ("QOZ"). The entity could be a corporation, a Limited Liability Company ("LLC") or a Limited Partnership ("LP"). If the entity is a corporation, you are selling stock to investors. If the entity is a LLC or LP, you are selling interests to investors. Your structure should be dictated by the nature of the business and tax efficiency. Since many Opportunity Zone investors have no basis in their Opportunity Zone investments, a corporate structure would likely be the most tax efficient.
You can solicit investors directly or through a broker/investment bank. The offering would likely be a private placement offering which would require compliance with SEC rules for private placements.
For your investors to receive the tax benefits of a QOZ investment, the operation of the QOZ business must meet requirements of the law and regulations requiring that more than 70% of the businesses tangible property be located in the Opportunity Zone. In addition, the QOZ business would have to derive 50% of its gross income from operations within the Opportunity Zone. There are specific rules for for each of those calculations.
Finding investors and preparing the necessary information (preparing a business plan, creating financial projections, and drafting the offering materials) can be difficult. However, there are lots of outlets for entrepreneurs to reach investors that are looking for QOZ investments including this website. Let me know if I can provide you with more detailed information on raising capital for QOZ investments.
