Actionable Strategies
Practical tips & strategies to fast-track your success.
If you are researching lawful ways of living in the United States, the E-2 Visa program could be your golden ticket! Our comprehensive Free E-2 Visa Guide is here to show you how, in simple, easy-to-understand language.
What is the E-2 Visa?
The E-2 Visa is an investor visa, a unique opportunity for individuals from certain treaty countries to invest in a U.S. business. It's a pathway to pursuing your business goals in one of the world's most dynamic economies.
Generosity at Its Core
The E-2 program is incredibly generous! It allows you not only to operate your qualifying business in the U.S. but also to live in the country along with your immediate family. It’s an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the American way of life while growing your business.

For Your Spouse
Your legally married spouse can also experience the American dream! Regardless of his or her country of citizenship, your spouse is eligible to apply for a work permit. This opens up career opportunities across the U.S. and enables a dual-income household, a benefit not available with the TN Visa.
For Your Children
Have children under 21? They can join you as dependents. If they're of school age, they can attend the U.S. public school system, an enriching experience that blends education with cultural exposure.
Proven Business Model
Franchises come with a tested and successful business model, reducing the risks typically associated with starting a new business. This model has been refined over time, ensuring it is effective and able to achieve profitability.
Comprehensive Training and Support
Franchisors provide extensive training and ongoing support, equipping investors with the knowledge and tools needed to run the business effectively. For E-2 Visa candidates without significant business ownership experience, this is a major franchise advantage!
Ready-to-Go Marketing Programs
Franchises often come with established marketing strategies and materials, enabling new franchisees to attract customers from day one, so you don't have to become an excellent marketer overnight!
Established Systems and Procedures
Franchises offer a set of established systems and procedures, streamlining operations and making it easier to manage the business. This means you don't have to spend time developing processes from scratch, skipping the trial-and-error phase, allowing you to focus on growing the business.
Other Benefits
Knowing your start-up and operating costs before making any investment decision, benefiting from existing brand recognition, economies of scale, and being part of a community of like-minded entrepreneurs supporting each other are also often listed as benefits of franchising.
Credibility with Documented Track Record

This track record, often detailed in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), provides a clear history of the franchisor’s experience and past performance.
Financial Benchmarks
Franchises typically have established financial benchmarks in their FDDs, demonstrating estimated initial investment, operating costs and financial performance representations. These benchmarks can be used to can be used to create a solid and credible business plan, showcasing the business's viability to immigration officials.
Support in Business Plan Development
While franchisors won't write the business plan for you, they can provide valuable input to help you present a calibrated business plan that will enhance credibility.
Training and Continuous Support
The ongoing training and support provided by the franchisor enable first-time business owners or those investing in an unfamiliar industry to be considered viable applicants. This training is well-documented in the FDD and helps increase the chances of business success, making it easier to demonstrate to immigration authorities that the candidate will be well-prepared to operate the business.
By choosing a franchise, E-2 Visa applicants can leverage these advantages to enhance both their business prospects and the strength of their visa application.

"I can't say enough good things about Daniel. His approach in getting to know us and our strengths first made finding a franchise a breeze which is no small feat considering how many different franchises there are out there. We were looking for franchises that were also E2 Visa friendly and he made short work of it. Daniel provided us with a list of options and reviewed each with us before scheduling meetings. He was always on the calls with us and helped us understand things as needed. He is a true gentleman and professional. He also never pushed us one way or another, he gave unbiased answers when asked and allowed us to make our decision. Daniel made a potentially stressful project seem like a walk in the park. Thank you Daniel!"
