What Is an E-2 Visa?

An E-2 visa is an investor’s visa in the United States. For more information on how to apply for an E-2 visa, please contact an Immigration Attorney in Scottsdale AZ at the Law Office of Jared Leung.

Do You Need to Hire Employees?

It really depends on your business, but it is always a good idea to have U.S. employees, because it shows that the business benefits U.S. economy. However, you may not need to hire employees right away. Again, it really depends on your business.

Draw Up a Business Plan

Whether you are buying an existing business or starting a new business, you will need to have a business plan for five years. The plan does not need to be “super-facncy” or long. We generally like to see a plan that is concise with nice graphs and charts, showing projected revenue, expenses, payroll, and growth. A plan between 10 – 15 pages should be sufficient. Remember that the plan is your way of communicating to a visa officer that “you know what you doing” and “you have a plan” to make your business work. If you are starting a new business, your business plan is even more important because you won’t have any tax return or payroll record yet. If you have a business background or written business plans before, you can prepare your business plan yourself. However, you may also hire business plans writers as well. Again, you don’t need to pay thousands of dollars for a “fancy” business plan. A solid and basic business plans that cover all the essential elements of your business will do.
