Business Immigration

Business Setup for Foreign Founders

The connective tissue between the visa and the venture — forming the right entity, structuring ownership, and putting the contracts in place that a visa filing and a real business both need.

Who This Is For

Foreign founders and companies setting up a U.S. subsidiary, franchise, or new entity as part of — or ahead of — an immigration filing.

What's Included

Entity formation, franchise and subsidiary setup, founder and shareholder agreements, and the commercial contracts that support both the business and the visa record.

The right entity and structure depend on your specific goals, investors, and visa strategy — we'll work through the options together rather than defaulting to one answer. We'll sequence entity formation and the visa filing together so one doesn't stall the other.

No visa outcome, approval, or timeline can be guaranteed — every case is evaluated on its own facts.
