04 / YOUR INVESTMENT ROADMAP
From “what if”
to a plan you can act on.
The right sequence matters. We help coordinate the business, legal, and tax work before major commitments are made.
Define your direction
Clarify your goals, experience, available capital, preferred sector, and desired level of involvement.
Align the advisors
Arrange immigration lawyer and cross-border tax consultations to assess the proposed structure and pathway.
Evaluate the business
Shortlist acquisition or startup options. Coordinate financial, operational, licensing, and legal due diligence.
Build the foundation
Support company registration, tax registrations, EIN coordination, banking preparation, and required permits.
Prepare & launch
Coordinate the business plan, transaction or launch milestones, and the information counsel needs for visa planning.
05 / CROSS-BORDER CLARITY
Your business plan.
Your personal plan.
Working together.
We coordinate the process. Qualified lawyers and tax professionals provide advice within their areas of expertise.
E-2 treaty investor
A potential temporary pathway for eligible Canadian citizens who make a substantial investment in a real operating U.S. business and develop and direct it. Counsel assesses ownership, investment, business viability, and your circumstances.
Read official E-2 guidanceStructure before you invest.
Consult on entity selection, personal tax residency, Canadian and U.S. reporting, income flows, and acquisition structure before committing funds.
06 / QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Clarity comes first.
Do I need to buy an existing business?
No. We can explore an acquisition, a startup, or expansion of your Canadian business. The choice depends on your capital, experience, goals, and lawyer's assessment of the immigration pathway.
Does investing automatically qualify me for a visa?
No. Business ownership or company registration alone does not establish visa eligibility. Immigration counsel assesses the investment and your circumstances; the U.S. authorities decide applications. Passive property ownership alone is not the operating-business pathway described here.
Are lawyer consultations free?
Lawyer consultations are professional services. Fees and scope should be confirmed before the consultation. We help coordinate the introduction and planning process.
Can you help with company and tax registrations?
We support coordination of company formation and applicable tax registrations with the relevant professionals. The appropriate structure, permits, and filings depend on the state, sector, and ownership.
How much capital should I plan for?
Plan for the acquisition or startup cost, professional fees, licensing, and sufficient working capital. E-2 has no single fixed investment minimum; your lawyer should assess whether the investment is substantial for the specific business.
