What Is An E-2 Franchise?

What Is An E-2 Franchise
Investing in an E-2 Franchise is one of the best ways to ensure that you receive a United States visa while creating a recurring revenue source for you and your family once you arrive in the US. Each year, the United States provides 40,000 E-2 visas to immigrants who are willing to invest in businesses within the US.
Franchising is one of the most popular ways in North America to start a business. For prospective E-2 immigrant investors, you can usually get started with a franchise that qualifies for an E-2 visa with somewhere between $100,000 – $400,000. Unlike the EB-2 green card program, an E-2 visa does not have any employee hiring requirements, so as long as the business stays operational, you are able to keep your E-2 visa, even if you have less than 10 employees.
One thing to keep in mind when considering an E-2 visa is that it is not a “forever” green card. With the EB-5 program, once you receive your green card, you are good to go forever as a US citizen, even if the business is dissolved or doesn’t succeed. But, with an E-2 visa, you really need to choose a business that you believe will be around for a long time, as every 2+ years you must renew your E-2 visa, which is dependent upon the status of the business you chose to invest in to receive your E-2 visa.
If you or someone you know is looking to partner with a US-based company to receive an E-2 visa, we would love to speak with you. In addition to owning an advertising agency that works with about 100 franchise brands for over 14 years, we also buy various franchises that we like, and E-2 and EB-5 immigrant investors are helpful for us as well as we seek to own more awesome franchise businesses more quickly.
Interested In Working With Us?
While we are newer to the EB-5 and E2 franchising space, we are veterans within franchising in general. Our ad agency Lead PPC has worked with hundreds of franchise brands, has helped sell close to 2,000 franchises, and we also own quite a few franchises ourselves. We like EB-5 and E2 migrant investors because it allows us to scale more quickly, and it provides a long-term win win for the migrant investor with much lower risk and potentially a much higher ROI than what you can get from large projects via Regional Centers.
