What are the requirements for a sole proprietorship to sponsor a green card?
Can I do that if I have assets to cover the person’s salary? I have owned my business as sole proprietor for the last 2 years and would like to sponsor green card based on employment. My business has not been profitable yet but am expecting the sales to make a big increase by the end of this year. What the requirements are to sponsor green card. I heard assets could be proof to show my ability to sponsor it if my company does not have the big sales yet.

Your company can be a sponsor of someone's employment-based permanent residence petition if your business will be able to demonstrate financial ability to pay the prevailing wage for the position from the time you start the process to the time the green card is issued.
