U.S. Business Selection & Strategy
Choose a U.S. business model that fits your capital, experience, management role, family priorities and E-2 evidence strategy.
Disciplined preparation
The right E-2 business must work commercially and evidentially.
A business advertised as “E-2 eligible” is not automatically suitable for a particular investor. We compare the available routes before capital is committed and identify the commercial assumptions that require independent verification.
The service connects commercial decisions, evidence development and professional responsibilities without confusing strategic coordination with legal, tax, accounting or brokerage work.
Important: No service can guarantee E-2 eligibility, visa issuance, admission or business success. Legal and regulated professional work remains separate.
Service framework
Four connected areas of work
Each area must support the same investor, business, transaction and evidence story.
Investor-business fit
Planning focus
Match industry, operating complexity and customer model with the investor’s credible experience and management capacity.
Capital and runway
Planning focus
Separate purchase or start-up costs from working capital, contingency funds and personal relocation needs.
Evidence readiness
Planning focus
Prefer opportunities whose ownership, expenses, contracts, licenses, financial history and operating plan can be documented.
Professional scope
Clear deliverables. Clear professional boundaries.
We organize the work and identify what must be independently handled by counsel, CPAs, brokers, valuation specialists or other licensed professionals.

Request a focused service review.

Frequently asked questions
Business Selection & Strategy FAQ
General information only. Every investor, business and filing route requires individualized professional review.
Which business guarantees an E-2 visa?+
None. Eligibility and approval depend on the complete investor, enterprise, investment and evidence record.
Is an existing business always better than a start-up?+
No. An acquisition may provide records and staff, while a start-up may offer more control. The stronger route depends on the facts.
Will you find a business for me?+
We help define and preliminarily screen suitable opportunity types. We do not act as a broker or reserve businesses.
Should working capital be included?+
Yes. Planning should distinguish acquisition or launch costs, committed expenditures, operating reserves and personal relocation needs.
