What Are My Options for E-2 Investment?
There are several ways to meet the E-2 Visa investment requirement:
• Buy an Existing Business
Purchasing a U.S. business already in operation can be an option—but it comes with complexities. You’ll need legal, financial, and operational due diligence to assess its real value, transfer ownership, and ensure it qualifies for E-2 purposes.
