Who is this E-2 visa business plan service designed for?
What We Do. We Write Realistic E-2 Visa Business Plans that Follow Guidelines.
The E-2 investor visa requires more than an idea and a bank transfer.
USCIS and consular officers want to see a business that is operational, viable, and capable of generating jobs in the U.S. A well-prepared visa business plan helps demonstrate this — not by promising growth, but by explaining the business model, use of funds, hiring plans, and market logic in a clear, structured way. At Robinomics Consulting, our E-2 visa writers create business plans that are specific, grounded in financial and market data, and aligned with your immigration strategy. Everything is presented clearly, with immigration readers in mind. Where possible, we avoid technical or industry jargon unless it directly supports your plan.
How We Align the E-2 Business Plan to Support Your Visa Application
The business plan should not attempt to impress; it should explain.
While USCIS does not issue an official business plan template, they expect to see specific elements addressed in a structured, evidence-based way. Our plans are built to clearly document:
➔ What the business does, its current stage, how it operates, and who manages it
➔ That the investment is committed and at risk, including source of funds, amounts already deployed, and remaining capital
➔ A data-driven industry and market analysis, including industry overview, local market state, target customers, competitive landscape, and the company’s execution advantage
➔ A realistic operational timeline, covering launch dates, hiring plans, growth milestones, and KPIs
➔ Financial projections grounded in industry and location data, not generic assumptions
➔ Evidence of non-marginality, showing the business can support the investor and create U.S. jobs alongside implementation timeline
➔ A clear staffing and job-creation plan, including roles, tasks, hiring plans, wage levels, bonuses, payroll taxes, and annual growth
➔ The investor’s role in the business, and how prior experience supports execution and business growth
Industries We’ve Written E2 Visa Plans For
E-2 eligibility is not industry-specific—but execution, structure, and economic logic are. We have prepared E-2 business plans across a wide range of operating businesses, each tailored to demonstrate investment at risk, non-marginality, operational control, and credible job creation under USCIS and consular review standards.
While the E-2 visa is not limited by sector, each industry requires different proof mechanics—from margin structure and staffing ratios to equipment capitalization, pricing logic, and growth pacing.
Our plans are written to align industry economics with immigration criteria, ensuring the business model makes sense not only on paper, but to a reviewing officer.

Understanding E-2 Business Plan Requirements
If you’d like to understand how E-2 business plans are evaluated by officers, the sections below explain the criteria in detail.
Business Plan for E2 Visa: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you’re looking to start or buy a business in the U.S., the E-2 visa could be the right path for you. Whether you’re launching a logistics company, buying a franchise, or starting your own consulting firm, we’ll craft a realistic, data-driven E-2 business plan — grounded in financial and market analysis — to support your visa application.
Introduction to the E2 Visa and Business Plan
What Is the E-2 Visa?
The E-2 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows citizens of treaty countries to live and work in the U.S. by investing in a business. It’s a popular choice for entrepreneurs and investors who want to start or expand a company in the United States.
Unlike other investor visas, the E-2 doesn’t require a set minimum investment amount. Instead, USCIS looks for an investment that is substantial, at risk, and committed to the success of your business.
An E-2 visa business plan is reviewed to determine whether the investment enterprise is active, substantial, and non-marginal, and whether the investor is prepared to develop and direct the business. Many E-2 applications fail not because of eligibility, but because the business plan lacks market research tied to the actual location, credible financial logic, a realistic hiring plan, internal consistency across narrative, numbers, and legal filings.
Officers assess the credibility of the operating model, the realism of financial assumptions, and whether projected revenues and hiring exceed marginal self-support.
But what does “substantial” really mean?
Even though there’s no fixed minimum, most successful E-2 applications involve a substantial investment — typically around $80,000–$100,000 — relative to the business you’re starting. Your investment must be sufficient for the type of business you’re opening: enough to make it operational and to demonstrate your financial commitment.
For example:
A freight transport company usually requires a significant investment — trucks, commercial licenses, insurance, fuel reserves. Trying to justify this with $50,000 likely won’t work.
In contrast, a consulting firm or service-based business with lower startup costs might credibly qualify with a $50,000–$60,000 investment — as long as the budget is realistic and your funds are already committed.
It’s not about hitting a specific number — it’s about showing that your investment is proportional, at risk, and enough to make the business real.
What Documents Do You Need to Apply?
To apply for an E-2 visa, you’ll need to submit a petition package proving your treaty nationality, business ownership, and that your investment is substantial, at risk, and committed. This typically includes your passport, company formation documents, financial records showing lawful source and use of funds, a professionally written business plan with projections and a hiring plan, your lease or purchase agreements, and application forms like the DS-160 and DS-156E. These documents together show that your business is real, viable, and you’re prepared to lead it.
What USCIS and Consular Officers Expect From Your E-2 Business Plan
We’ve seen many business plans used in E-2 visa applications to be either too vague, overly optimistic, or generic in language.
"The company plans to scale operations and hire staff within the next 12 months."
This says nothing meaningful to USCIS or a consular officer. They want to know who, when, how much, and why. A generic statement may make your plan seem unreal or copied.
To avoid this and make your business plan support your E2 visa application, we:
✔ Replace vague language (if existing) with step-by-step action plans and measurable goals
✔ Clearly explain your business model, products and services available and on the pipeline, pricing models and market penetration strategies
✔ Demonstrate how job hiring will happen, how will you train and pay the employees and what national benefit will occur as a result
✔ We show the investment has been committed and already in motion
✔ We align your hiring plan with revenue strategies and show the business can afford it
✔ We include realistic start-up costs backed by quotes from potential suppliers

✺ E-2 Visa Business Plan – Frequently Asked Questions ✺
-
A revised E-2 visa business plan can help address common refusal reasons such as unclear investment risk, financial assumptions not supported by market research or industry benchmarks, or an insufficiently presented job creation plan. An E-2 business plan writer focuses on clarifying operations, hiring structure, and financial projections so officers can evaluate whether the business is viable, non-marginal, and economically credible. A clearer explanation may strengthen a reapplication.
-

Both play different roles in an E-2 visa case. An immigration attorney handles the legal strategy and filing, while an E-2 business plan writer focuses on preparing the business plan, financial projections, and job creation roadmap required by USCIS or the U.S. consulate.
We work either directly with applicants or alongside their attorneys to ensure the E-2 business plan supports the legal petition without inconsistencies.

-
Yes. We structure E-2 business plans to meet both USCIS and U.S. consular review standards. While requirements may vary slightly depending on whether the case is filed through USCIS or a consulate, the core expectations—investment at risk, job creation, and business viability—remain the same.
We tailor each plan to the filing route and reviewing authority to ensure consistency and credibility.
