U.S. companies & operations
Real operations aren't a claim — they're a body of evidence
Immigration review doesn't credit a company as operating just because it's properly registered. What's actually examined: are there customers, is there revenue, are there employees, and is there an organization that genuinely needs a manager.
Evidence framework
Four evidence sets that establish "real operations"
This structure serves two purposes at once: getting the business genuinely running, and letting an examiner verify it.
Entity & compliance
- · State registration and good-standing certificate
- · Industry licenses and insurance
- · Federal and state tax registrations
- · Bank accounts and signing authority
Business facts
- · Customer contracts and order records
- · Invoices and bank statements
- · Vendor and procurement records
- · Lease and actual premises use
Organization & management
- · Org chart and reporting lines
- · Job duties and decision authority
- · Meeting and decision records
- · Who the manager actually manages
Staffing & payroll
- · Payroll records and payroll tax filings
- · Work-authorization verification records
- · Employee handbook and employment contracts
- · Verification of actual active staff
Start up or acquire
Two paths, two risk profiles
A new company keeps upfront cost lower but has to build operating facts from zero. An acquisition gets you revenue and staff faster, but comes with transaction and integration risk.
Starting up: the initial review focuses on whether the business plan is executable and whether real capital was deployed; the extension stage requires operating facts that have actually materialized. If a year in there are still no customers, no employees and no revenue, both the extension and a later EB-1C petition face real difficulty.
Acquiring: the upside is inheriting existing cash flow and a team; the downside is that full commercial due diligence is required — financial authenticity, customer concentration, staff retention, debts and litigation, and license transferability. An immigration purpose should never lower the bar for commercial diligence.
Service scope
Company services we can take on
These are services we can provide. Nothing here is a claim about past results or completed projects.

Acquisition
Target screening, commercial diligence (financial authenticity, customer concentration, staff retention, debts and litigation, license transferability), deal structure and closing support.
Staffing and organization
Roles and reporting lines, hiring and employment compliance, payroll and payroll-tax filing processes.
Operations and records
Ongoing upkeep of customer and vendor contracts, invoices and bank records, and management decisions — so operating facts can be checked.

Boutique team, by appointment
Discuss a specific U.S. business plan
We assess whether the business stands on its own first, and only then discuss whether it can support an immigration pathway — the order matters. An initial conversation is not legal advice.
We only collect basic contact details and one short question. Please do not send passport data, A-numbers, receipt numbers, bank statements or a full case history.
