As a small business owner in the United States, you have likely never thought about the Visa process and how that process brings new entrepreneurs into the country who are looking to have their own version of the American dream. If you are a small business owner who is looking to sell, however, the Visa process can mean good things for your business.

Those looking to come to the United States have several avenues to choose from, but the one that impacts the small business community is the E2 Visa. This Visa allows those with enough capital to come to the United States if they purchase and run a small business. You, as the seller of a U.S. based small business can benefit by getting your business E2 Visa approved. This process comes with its fair share of red tape, but by using a business brokerage like ours with a great deal of experience and all the right contacts, the process can be quite successful.

Not all business qualify for the E2 Visa, but yours might. If it does, it will open your business to a pool of international buyers who typically close transactions with all-cash or very little financing. There are very few businesses who look into E2 approval, so it could give your business great appeal if you do.

How does your business get E2 approval? There are a number of factors like how many employees you have and how they get paid, how old your business is, and what your financials look like. We have had E2 approvals on businesses that had no employees, limited financials, and even some that were new. There are other factors that may contribute as well, the Visa process tends to work on a case-by-case basis.

The only way to find out if your business will have access to this fantastic pool of buyers is to ask. Get in touch with us today, and we can look at the possibility of E2 approval for your business. Please feel free to contact us, leave us a comment or question here- and we will be happy to help you consider the E2 Visa process.

I get asked the value and what a business may sell for on a consistent basis and the follow up question typically after it is an answer the seller does not want to hear is how can I get more for my business.

There are many ways to sell your business for more but many of those take time and money, two things that small business owners do not have or do not want to put into the business.

Instead of waiting and hoping to get that offer that will satisfy you one way to get that premium for your business is to get your business E2 visa approved which we will do.

Every situation is different but a few of the things that we look for is the number of employees, how they are paid, age of the business, financials and several other factors. In certain instances we have gotten new businesses, businesses with limited financials or no employees approved with a visa.

It is a win/win situation. Very few businesses either qualify for a visa or the listing broker has limited knowledge on the process but if we can get it visa approved you may receive the premium or quick offer that you are looking for. Most visa transactions are all cash or mostly cash with very little financing and for them very few small businesses are approved or there is very little know how about how to get it done.

Our affiliates or I will assist in getting the business approved, writing the necessary business plan, getting them in front of a successful immigration attorney meaning a successful transaction for all.

If you are questions or are interested contact me for you consult.
