Using a car dealership as an E-2 investment business.
A dealership is an active operating business with inventory, vendors, customers or dealer buyers, expenses and management responsibilities—features that can make it relevant to an E-2 strategy when the investor and investment satisfy the applicable requirements.
Core E-2 business concepts
USCIS describes the E-2 investment as substantial capital placed at risk in a real, active operating enterprise that the investor will develop and direct, and the enterprise must be more than marginal.
Build versus acquire
An investor can evaluate a ground-up dealership build or an existing business acquisition. Each creates a different timeline, evidence trail and capital deployment pattern.
Coordinate the teams
Keep business setup, accounting and immigration counsel aligned so ownership, expenditures, contracts and operating plans are documented consistently.
