Invest in a U.S. Franchise with the E-2 Visa

If you’re a foreign national looking to live and work legally in the United States, the E-2 Visa offers a powerful opportunity to do just that—through business ownership. As a former multi-unit franchisee and franchise consultant, I specialize in helping international entrepreneurs secure the right franchise investment and successfully navigate the E-2 visa process from end to end.

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.

• Buy an Existing Business
