Start your U.S. business the right way—with guidance from a CPA who understands both sides of the border.

Setting up your U.S. company is the first and most critical step toward a successful E-2 visa application. Our Company Formation Services for E-2 Visa Applicants ensure your business is structured correctly from day one. At E2Visa.ca, we help Canadian entrepreneurs structure and register their businesses in the U.S. correctly—making sure your entity type, ownership, and accounting setup meet both USCIS and IRS expectations.

Why Proper Company Formation Matters

Your business structure directly affects:

    • Your E-2 visa eligibility
    • Your tax obligations in both the U.S. and Canada
    • How you repatriate profits or reinvest earnings
    • Your personal liability and long-term exit strategy
