Business Plans for SBA Loans, Startups, and E-2 Visas
If you're looking to finance your business or relocate your company to the US, there are a few things you'll need to do. First, you'll need to develop a strong business plan (We can help!) that outlines your goals and how you intend to achieve them.
At Local Union Consulting, we can help you create a business plan for an SBA loan, startup, or E-2 Visa.
SBA Loan Business Plans
Once you've created your business plan, the next step is to find the right funding source. There are a number of options available, including loans, grants, and investments from venture capitalists. Each option has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to choose the one that's right for your business.
If you're a small business owner or start-up, then you've probably heard of SBA loans. But what are they exactly? SBA loans are government-backed loans that are available to small businesses. They are designed to help businesses start up or expand, and can be used for a variety of purposes including working capital, equipment, inventory, or real estate.
The best part about SBA loans is that they offer low-interest rates and long repayment terms, which makes them very affordable. Plus, if you're a small business owner with good credit, you may even qualify for an SBA loan with no down payment required!
Local Union can help you write a business plan that is strong and persuasive enough to get you an SBA loan. We know the ins and outs of the process, so let us take the stress out of it for you. With our expert advice and guidance, you'll be well on your way to success! We provide business planning services and support, and will help you every step of the way, from creating a business model to writing a great loan proposal.
So, whether you are just starting out or looking to expand your existing business, an SBA loan can give you the boost you need. Contact us today to get started! Bonus: most banks allow you to write off any business plan expenses as part of your loan downpayment!
E-2 Visa Business Plans
If you're planning to invest in a U.S. business, the E-2 visa may be a good option for you. E-2 Visas are available for businesses that invest a certain amount of money into their business and create jobs for US workers. The E-2 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to enter the United States in order to engage in trade or investment activities. To qualify for an E-2 visa, the foreign national must be a citizen of a country that has a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States, and the individual must be coming to the United States to invest a substantial amount of money in a bona fide enterprise.
There are two main types of E-2 visas: investor visas and trader visas. Investor visas are available to individuals who are coming to the United States to invest a substantial amount of money in a new or existing business. Trader visas are available to individuals who are engaged in international trade between the United States and the foreign national's home country.
To qualify for an E-2 Visa, you must meet the following requirements:
You must be from a country that has a treaty with the United States.
You must have invested, or be in the process of investing, a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business.
You must be coming to the United States to work in a managerial or executive capacity, or as an essential employee with special skills.
Local Union has the experience and resources to help you get your E-2 Visa approved so that you can bring your business to the United States. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you with your E-2 Visa application.
Business Plans for Startups
They say “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Creating a business plan when starting a new business is a great idea and investment. Sure, a shiny logo and website seem important, but none of that matters if you don't have the strategy in place to execute operations and gain profitability. While a business plan isn’t necessary, companies who have and follow their business plan are twice as likely to succeed in growing their business than companies who don’t have a plan.
At Local Union, we spend time working and consulting with you and your leadership team to ensure you have everything needed to succeed. Often, we find the conversations we have to be just as powerful as the written plan! We are here to ensure you’ve thought of everything, are strategically planning operations, and understand your potential revenues and expenses. We can even be a second opinion or “gut check” for how you’ve set up your business!
From coaching and consulting to detailed business plans, Local Union is here to help!
