Who Can Help Me Buy a U.S. Business and Obtain a U.S. Business Investment Visa
- Who is a U.S. Business Broker? A U.S. Business Broker is typically a licensed professional who specializes in selling businesses and helping people find and buy a business. For example, I am a Florida Licensed Real Estate Broker who specializes in the sale and purchase of businesses. As a business broker I have access to thousands of businesses being sold in Florida and across the U.S. Having worked with countless foreign buyers of U.S. Businesses for the purpose of obtaining a U.S. Business Investment Visa, I know the most important factors that a business should have for Immigration purposes. I work closely with my foreign clients to find them the best possible business fit. I also work closely with the foreign buyer’s U.S. Business Immigration Attorney to make sure the attorney is getting what he needs for a smooth application process.
- Who is a U.S. Business Immigration Attorney? A U.S. Business Immigration Attorney should always be licensed to practice as an attorney in at least one of the states within the U.S. It is absolutely critical that a foreign buyer retain an experienced U.S. Business Immigration Attorney to represent them in the immigration process. A U.S. Business Immigration Attorney will help you determine which type of business investment visa will be best for you and your family. If you have not yet found a US Business Immigration Attorney please contact me for recommendations.
