You're a
future American investor and entrepreneur. Our strength lies in over 20
years of entrepreneurial experience in several countries, including the
United States. We want you to succeed in the same way, and will share
our experience and knowledge with you during the investment process.
Whether you're looking to buy an existing business, open a franchise or
set up a new venture, we're here to guide and advise you step by step to
ensure your project is viable and eligible for your visa application.
For analysis of
the investment in which you will actively participate as the basis for an EB-5
visa, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your options.
For indirect EB-5
investments, known as "Regional Centers" vehicles, an in-depth
financial analysis and "due diligence" is required, and we recommend
that you contact us as soon as possible.
E-2
investments
Once you have decided to invest in a business in the U.S. by obtaining the
visa to actively develop and run that business, our firm will guide you
through all the following steps:
•
Assessing the funds available for this investment,
•
Consideration of the type of company you wish to invest in. It doesn't have
to be a business similar to the one you've been in before. Nor do you have
to have run a company previously, but we advise
against choosing an unfamiliar business sector without proper advice. We
will make every effort to ensure your company's lasting success!
•
Choosing whether to start a new business or buy an existing one.
Buying an existing business is easier, as it provides an immediate business
history to help document your investment. Also consider franchising options,
which are highly successful in getting qualified
for your Visa.
•
Choosing
where you want to live in the United States, for both personal and
professional reasons. U.S. immigration is
a Federal matter,
which means that the requirements for obtaining an E-2 visa are the same for
all states, but prices, taxes and local laws vary considerably from place to
place.
Before
submitting the application for an E-2 visa to the U.S. Embassy in your home
country, your investment must be considered at
risk. This means that if you are developing a new business, you must show
that all necessary expenses have been made to make the business operational.
If you are buying an existing business, the purchase contract must be signed
and the investment funds irrevocably committed (to an escrow account) if the
visa is granted.
The
success of your visa application depends heavily on the quality of your
business plan, since the Consular Officer at the Embassy in your home
country has the power to approve or reject your visa application. When the
time comes to submit your application, our agency will know your project in
detail and will be able to help you draw up a business plan that will put
your project in the best light. For our E-2 clients, our agency always takes
care of writing the business plan.
