Our Services
At Visa Franchise we specialize in helping foreign nationals find the best
franchise investment that will qualify them for an E-2, L-1, or EB-5 investor visa

Our goal is to simplify the process by finding and analyzing the best franchise
investments for our clients and their family based on their own unique profile

We seek to understand our client's investment goals, desired location, industries


of interest, and investment size, among a variety of important factors, in order to
find the best investment opportunities for them and their family

We prepare an analysis of 4-5 investment opportunities based on the client's


profile. We then introduce them to immigration attorneys and tax professionals in
order to ensure that they have all the support they need. We act as the trusted
advisor throughout the entire investigation process until an investment
decision is made and the client has obtained their investor visa
