If you’re new, start here before posting. E-2 Deal Desk is a working deal environment, not a listing board or social group. How you use it determines how much value you get. 1️⃣ First: Identify Your Role Please comment below with: - Role: Broker / Seller / Buyer - What you’re working on: (briefly) This helps keep discussions relevant and professional. 2️⃣ How Brokers Should Use the Desk If you’re a broker or franchise consultant, this Desk is for: - Understanding what actually qualifies for E-2 - Identifying immigration red flags early - Improving deal positioning for foreign buyers - Engaging buyer and seller activity in a high-signal environment Before posting a deal: Ask yourself: - Is this realistically E-2 viable? - Do I understand the capital, ownership, and control issues? - Can I explain why this works for E-2? If unsure — ask before marketing the deal. 3️⃣ How Sellers Should Use the Desk If you’re a seller or business owner, use the Desk to: - Understand whether your business is realistically E-2 viable - Improve deal readiness and positioning - Engage brokers and buyers who understand E-2 constraints This is not mass exposure. Quality, clarity, and responsiveness matter here. 4️⃣ How Buyers Should Use the Desk If you’re an E-2 buyer/investor, use the Desk to: - Learn what actually works for E-2 (and what doesn’t) - Ask informed questions about deals - Engage brokers based on fit — not assignment Buyers choose their broker. No one is assigned. 5️⃣ What to Post (and What Not to Post) ✅ Encouraged: - Deal viability questions - Thoughtful deal breakdowns - Immigration-related deal concerns - Lessons learned from E-2 transactions 🚫 Not Allowed: - Spam listings - “Who has buyers?” posts - Guarantees or hype - Mass copy-paste marketing Posts that reduce signal may be removed. 6️⃣ My Role (Important) I’m here to provide immigration clarity and early risk identification — not to assign deals or replace brokers.

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.
