Services Offered
As a dedicated business broker specializing in Investor Visa opportunities (E-2 Treaty Investor and EB-5 Immigrant Investor programs), I help international clients from treaty countries secure U.S. residency through strategic business acquisitions in Florida and beyond.
My core services include:

Investor Visa Business Sales & Acquisitions
Expert guidance in identifying, evaluating, and purchasing E-2 and EB-5 qualifying businesses. I focus on active, profitable opportunities that meet USCIS requirements—such as substantial investment, job creation potential, and non-marginal operations—while ensuring a smooth path to visa approval. From franchises and service-based businesses to retail, hospitality, and scalable enterprises, I match investors with visa-friendly listings that align with their goals.
Business Valuations
Accurate, defensible valuations using industry-standard methods (income, asset, and market approaches). Whether for sale preparation, financing, partnership disputes, or estate planning, my reports provide clear, reliable insights to maximize value and support informed decisions.
Due Diligence Support
Comprehensive due diligence packages to protect buyers and sellers. I coordinate financial reviews, legal checks, operational audits, lease/asset verifications, and risk assessments—helping uncover hidden issues early and facilitating confident, efficient transactions.
Consultancy & Advisory Services
Personalized consulting for business owners and investors, including exit planning, growth strategies, operational improvements, and pre-sale enhancements to boost marketability and value. I also advise on structuring deals for optimal tax and immigration outcomes.

With deep experience in the Florida market (including Central Florida areas like Orlando, Kissimmee, and surrounding regions), I prioritize confidentiality, transparency, and results-driven representation.
