Five questions. We rank the highest-fit investor program for your capital range, business model, and target country.
“A bad franchise destroys both the capital and the visa. We rule them out before the consultant signs anything.”
— Business Mobility Lead
Investors get pitched dozens of franchise and fund opportunities. Most don’t survive a real unit-economics review. The wrong investment can also disqualify the visa class.
We maintain a vetted portfolio of franchise and fund opportunities with verified financials. Each opportunity is mapped against the visa rules of the target country.
FDD review (US), franchisor financial audit, unit-level P&L verification, royalty-flow check.
Portugal-eligible venture funds, NZ Active Investor Plus, UK Innovator-endorsed structures.
Local market sizing, competitive landscape, regulatory clearance, hiring plan.
Investment terms, royalty caps, exit clauses, and dispute mechanisms reviewed by counsel before signing.
“Investor visas live and die on the business plan and the source of funds. Capital without a paper trail is a refusal waiting to happen.”
— Senior Investor-Visa Specialist
Source-of-funds documentation is the most common refusal ground for investor visas. Tax returns, sale agreements, gift deeds, and inheritance papers all need legal-grade tracing.
In association with regulated counsel, we prepare the source-of-funds dossier and the business plan. Both are reviewed by an external auditor before filing where the program requires it.
Step-by-step paper trail from origin to investment account, audited by a licensed firm where required.
Country-specific format — Canada SUV, UK Innovator endorsement, US E-2 substantiality.
Filed in association with RCIC, OISC, or local counsel. Procedural-fairness letters answered on the record.
Spouse and dependent applications filed in parallel.
“The visa is the start of compliance, not the end. We stay on after approval to keep the residency safe.”
— Compliance Lead
Investor and business-class residencies have ongoing reporting requirements — active management, job creation, audited financials, day counts. Missing these obligations costs the residency.
We provide post-approval compliance — annual reporting, audit support, residency-day tracking, and renewal filings.
Income, employee headcount, and operational metrics reported in the format required by each program.
Local accounting firm engaged where the program requires audited financials.
E-2 renewals, ILR conversion (UK), citizenship applications (Portugal once law settles).
Where investors choose to exit, structured exits that preserve the residency for the family.

No. The real-estate investment route was removed in October 2023. Current qualifying routes are: investment funds (€500K), cultural-heritage donations (€250K), business creation, and research projects. We track legislative reform that may further extend the citizenship timeline.
Yes — once your application is approved, you and your family receive permanent residency directly. The program requires a Letter of Support from a designated organisation (venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator). We have working relationships with several designated organisations.
There is no statutory minimum, but USCIS evaluates on a sliding scale relative to the business size. In practice, $150K+ is a typical floor for service businesses; smaller for sole proprietorships, larger for capital-intensive sectors. We model substantiality before filing.
Not directly. E-2 is non-immigrant. Green-card pathways from E-2 typically run through EB-1 (extraordinary ability), EB-2 NIW (national interest waiver), or EB-5 (investor-based). We map the EB transition into the long-term plan.
No. Capital that’s locked, illiquid, or non-producing usually destroys returns even when the visa works. We do exit-modeling at the vetting stage — if an opportunity’s exit options aren’t clear, we don’t file the visa.
