US VISA – FOREIGN NATIONALS
At Abalaris Business Ventures we present six important aspects for your consideration when buying a business as a foreign national.
01 Initial Consultation
Buying a business can qualify you to work and live in the US. In this initial meeting we determine the main objectives of moving to the country and of purchasing a business, and we discuss an overview of the general requirements.
02 Immigration Attorney
We work in partnership with immigration attorneys. They assist with the determination of the optimal visa category for each individual Buyer. There might be several visa options depending on a variety of factors, eg. country of origin, amount of investment, number of jobs created. Some of the most popular visas are the EB-5, E-2 and L-1.
03 Business Search
Once the visa category has been determined, we identify the type of business that best fits such visa, and that presents a good match for the Buyer’s interests, skills and resources.
04 Acquisition Process
We work with the Buyer to identify a specific and ideal business to purchase. Our experienced professionals assist and guide you during the acquisition process, please refer to our “Steps to Buy a Business” section which explains in detail each step of the way.
05 Petition
of Visa
Once the specific and ideal business has been identified, we assist you in preparing an offer, negotiating, and getting the business under contract. The attorney then files a visa petition. This might become one of the contingencies for closing.
06 Closing
the deal
When the visa has been authorized and all other contingencies have been removed, we will coordinate the closing.
