Remove the red tape of traditional business incorporation services and form your company online via-our digital self service legal-tech platform. Our online U.S. company incorporation services include everything you need to fully establish a U.S. company which is the first step in setting up your operations in the U.S.
Once you have formed a U.S. company you are then positioned to apply for visa applications based on the investment or history of the parent company forming the U.S. subsidiary. Our platform allows you to complete the company setup process ahead of time in support of your visa application, with everything necessary to get the business operations, licensed and established in any of the 50 States.
Investor & Transfer Visas
The E1 treaty trader and E2 treaty investor visa's allow entrepreneurs and business owners to setup physical operations in the U.S. market and sponsor their own visa to operate their business from within the U.S. The L1 transfer visa on the other hand allows the transfer of managerial staff into the U.S.
If your long term plans are to setup and run your business from within the United States and you have no parent company, the E2 investor visa may be the solution to make that a reality. While extensive in terms of the application documentation and investment capital requirements, the E2 investor visa offers great flexibility in terms of setting up physical operations in the U.S. with visa's for the founders. For established companies with a parent / subsidiary structure, the L1 transfer visa offers a straight forward option to move staff into the U.S.
L-1 Transfer Visa Example
A Singapore based shoe design and manufacturing company has been trading its goods to the United States for the last several years. Over 50% of their international trade takes place exclusively between the United States and Singapore. Over the last year their trade has grown significantly and now they wish to move sales staff permanently to the United States to help increase their trade. The Singapore shoe business can apply to transfer senior staff to run their U.S. operation via the L-1 transfer visa.
E-2 Treaty Investor Example
A successful British investor and tech entrepreneur recently purchased a 75% stake in a startup located in Los Angeles for $250,000. The startup operates at a profit and employs over 20 staff, most of whom are American citizens. If all the conditions for the visa are met, the investor could obtain an E-2 treaty investor visa to oversee the company in the United States. In addition, the investor is able to send over well qualified product managers to the United States to work in the company.
