Jorge Duran | Business Broker & Advisor – Specializing in Investor Visa Opportunities & Florida Business Transactions
Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, I provide seamless, multilingual support to a diverse clientele, including international investors seeking U.S. residency through business ownership.
With a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and a Master's Degree in Finance, plus 35 years of hands-on experience in mergers and acquisitions, I bring deep expertise to every transaction. As a successful business owner myself, I have owned and operated ventures across multiple industries, including real estate, restaurants, ice cream stores, education businesses, franchises, and others. This real-world perspective allows me to truly understand sellers' challenges in exiting profitably and buyers' needs in finding the right opportunity.
My specialization focuses on Investor Visa businesses (E-2 Treaty Investor and EB-5 programs), guiding clients from treaty countries through the acquisition of qualifying, active enterprises that meet USCIS criteria—such as substantial investment, job creation potential, and non-marginal operations. I excel in matching investors with visa-friendly listings in franchises, services, retail, hospitality, and scalable businesses, primarily in Florida (Central Florida, Orlando-Kissimmee area, and statewide).
Beyond visa pathways, I offer comprehensive services:
Accurate business valuations using proven income, asset, and market approaches
Thorough due diligence coordination (financial, legal, operational, and risk reviews)
Strategic consultancy for exit planning, growth strategies, pre-sale enhancements, and deal structuring for optimal outcomes
Confidentiality, transparency, and results are my priorities. Whether you're a U.S. owner preparing to sell, an international investor pursuing the American Dream via business ownership, or someone needing expert valuation/advisory, I deliver personalized, experienced guidance to turn goals into successful transactions.
