E2 Visas: The Business plan
A new business less than 2 years old must demonstrate its viability by presenting a 5-year business plan.
​
A business plan established for an E-2 visa application at a US embassy should be both precise and minimal.
​
A plan that is too complex or too elaborate does not respond to visa applications. We must limit the volume of information and limit ourselves to the essentials.
The Good Tips
​
A business plan includes an editorial part as well as a part of graphics and financial charters. For E2 purposes you will need both.
The plan is established in several sections:
​
-
A summary of the company and concept
-
The objective to achieve
-
The company’s mission
-
The keys to success ​
-
Who runs the company?
-
Upfront Fees
-
Products and services offered
-
Market analysis
-
Market segmentation
-
Your competitors
-
Website
-
Your strong and weak points
-
Market opportunities
-
Sales and costs
-
The staff
-
The numbers that lead you to success. ​
​
The most important points to present on a plan are
The numbers and job opportunities.
​
The plan presented must establish the substantiality as well as the non-marginality established by the regulations.
This plan must allow an officer to quickly assess the conditions in which a company will be able to cope with all eventualities.
​
Having previously drawn up plans in many areas, I am able to make a plan tailored to your needs in these areas in particular:
-
Laundromat
-
Restaurant
-
Bakery
-
Food trucks
-
Real estate agency*
-
Nightclub
-
Real estate management*
-
Retail store
-
Warehouse
-
Automotive service garage
​
* plans for the real estate sector are very specific and more complex to establish.
A condensed plan of 10 pages maximum will therefore be welcome.
