Welcome — and thanks for joining E-2 Deal Desk.
This is a private, broker-led deal environment built to help E-2 transactions get evaluated early and correctly, before they fall apart due to immigration issues.
This is not:
- a listing site
- a lead marketplace
- a buyer assignment service
And it’s intentionally designed that way.
🎯 What This Desk Is For
E-2 Deal Desk exists to bring immigration clarity into the deal process early, so participants are not guessing.
Here’s how each role uses the Desk:
🔹 Brokers & Franchise Consultants
- Learn what actually makes a deal E-2-viable
- Identify immigration red flags before marketing or LOI
- Position deals more effectively for foreign buyers
- Engage with E-2 buyers and sellers in a high-signal environment
🔹 Sellers / Business Owners
- Present businesses to E-2-educated buyers and brokers
- Understand whether a business is realistically E-2-viable
- Improve deal readiness and positioning
🔹 E-2 Buyers / Investors
- Learn what works (and what doesn’t) for E-2
- Evaluate deals intelligently
- Engage brokers who understand how to structure transactions correctly
📌 A Few Important Ground Rules
Please read — this keeps the Desk valuable for everyone:
- No guaranteed buyers, sellers, or deals
- No deal assignments — buyers choose their broker
- No mass listing dumps or spam
- Quality > quantity (fewer, better deals win here)
- Professional conduct only — this is a working desk, not social media
Posts that don’t follow these principles may be removed to protect signal quality.
⚖️ My Role Here
I’m an immigration attorney, and my role in this Desk is to:
- provide clarity around E-2 eligibility
- flag deal-killing issues early
- help improve deal positioning
- guide structured deal discussions
I’m not here to replace brokers or assign deals — the goal is to reduce uncertainty, not override professionals.
âś… How to Get Started
- Introduce yourself (role + what you’re working on)
- Read existing discussions before posting
- Engage thoughtfully — questions are welcome
- If you’re a broker, watch for deal-review opportunities
If you participate, you’ll get far more value than if you lurk.
One Line to Remember
This Desk exists to remove guesswork — not to create noise.
Glad to have you here.
