How can I legally run a business in the U.S.?
The size of the U.S. market attracts entrepreneurs from all over the world. We believe that anyone with a good idea, dedication, patience, hard working and go-getter attitude can build a successful business in the U.S.. Opportunities can be found everywhere; your business doesn’t need to be complex, new or free of competitors. You can take an existing idea and do it better and more efficiently. We will help and provide guidance; we'll set up the right business concept geared to U.S. consumer behavior, establish the company, write a 5 year business and financial plan and provide information on the right licences and permits. We will make sure your company complies with all laws and regulations so you avoid costly penalties, tax problems, and even the closure of your operation. Our services don't involve finding you investors or distributors. We've been in the business since 2011 and have helped over 60 companies to become established in the U.S. market.
Do I need visa?
ESTA as well as B1/B2 visa are appropriate options for undertaking certain business activities in the U.S. such as setting up a company, business bank account, consulting with business associates or clients, negotiating deals or training future employees. However, without the appropriate visa, it is impossible to play an active role in the company and be involved in daily activities. At the beginning of our cooperation, clients are usually at a point of setting up their company remotely and preparing it for the official launch. When they reach a point of being fully operational, it is necessary to apply for visa, such as E-2 Treaty Investor or L1, that will allow them to be involved in all of the business activities.
What is E-2 Treaty Investor visa?
The investment could be used for a purchase of an existing business or start of a new one. It has to be real investment, not a fictitious one. The investor will obtain E-2 visa for a period of two or five years and the visa can be renewed indefinitely.
Additional benefit is that the spouse of an E-2 investor will obtain E-2 visa as well, is eligible to apply for an “Employment Authorization Document” and work in any field.
Our team offers complex business strategy consulting. We don’t offer visa consulting or legal services. After finishing a project, every client applies for visa individually and it’s up to them whether they decide to use immigration lawyer services. Applying for visa is the final step and our clients usually do it themselves. Consulting AMBIZ offers is not considered legal advice.

Investment amounts of our past clients

Part of the invested capital is intended to cover operating costs expected in the first year of business operation. The sources invested capital can come from savings, business profits, gifts, and loans.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
There is no required investment dollar amount; the amount of investment must be adequate to the type of business. For businesses that rely mostly on the owner's know-how, don’t require high initial investments in inventory/equipment/marketing and have low operating costs, initial investment of $30,000 is sufficient. Part of the investment is used for start-up expenses and part to cover business costs incurred in the first months of operation. Most of our clients invest between $30,000 and $120,000. Clients apply for visa at the embassy at a point where their business is fully operational and the physical presence of an investor in the U.S. is necessary for further development.
Hiring U.S. workers is an important part of doing business in the U.S. However, it is not necessary to have employees before you apply for E-2 visa. Investor can start the business by himself and hire employees later on a part-time/full-time or contract basis.
ESTA and B1/B2 visa are suitable for trips to the U.S. with the purpose of setting up a company, opening business account, surveying potential sites in connection with a business venture and/or to lease premises, and getting licenses. You can also consult with business associates, negotiate contracts, select and train future employees. Anyone can own a business in the U.S., however; without the right type of visa, you can’t be an active part of the business and participate in daily activities. Not all of our clients wish to move to the U.S. immediately; they prefer to set up and manage their business remotely. When the business reaches a certain operating level it becomes crucial that the client applies for visa that do not restrict them in their activities (e.g. E-2 or L1).
Máme rôzne typy klientov, a preto spolupráca môže trvať 2 mesiace, ale aj niekoľko rokov.
- typ klienta má jasnú a odpremýšlanú víziu, v USA už viackrát bol, možno aj začal so zriaďovaním svojich aktivít a pomáhame im ich myšlienky len zhmotniť, usporiadať a zrealizovať. Pri takýchto klientoch vieme projekt dokončiť za 2-3 mesiace aktívnej spolupráce.
- Druhý typ klienta je opatrnejší, nevie ešte úplne presne v akej oblasti by chcel podnikať, zisťuje aké má možnosti, hľadá si kontakty a príležitosť. S týmto typom klienta trvá väčšinou spolupráca do 6mesiacov.
- Posledný typ klienta je vizionár, ktorý sníva a vie že určite bude raz podnikať na americkom trhu. Pár krát aj vycestuje a má vždy otvorené oči, avšak je stále nerozhodný – často mu ide o zodpovedné rozhodnutie keďže sa bude musiet presunúť aj s rodinou a deťmi. A možno manželka nechce o tomto nápade ani počuť, takže spolupráca pomaličky potajomky postupuje a po roku a pol možno aj manželka prikývne.. a možno až po troch rokoch. 🙂
Many of our clients share ownership of the company with a slovak or american business partner. However, speaking from our experience, we do not recommend co-owners, as a change in the ownership structure can affect your visa status. Several clients had to face this issue after a disagreement with their business partner.
Prvotným zámerom každého podnikateľa v USA by mala byť tvorba nových pracovných príležitostí pre Američanov. Avšak niekedy je nevyhnutné a efektívnejšie pre biznis vyžiadať si kľúčového zamestnanca – niekoho, s kým má skúsenosť a koho nemusí zaúčať od základov. Je možnosť zažiadať o E2 Essential Employee víza pre takéhoto zamestnanca, ten si môže so sebou do USA zobrať aj ženu a deti do 21 rokov.
Podnikať môžete dokým máte platné víza, alebo status pobytu v USA. Prvé E-2 víza budete mať schválené na Slovensku na 2 roky a v Českej republike na 5 rokov. Môžete ľubovoľne cestovať do a z USA dokým máte platné víza (t.j. 2 alebo 5 rokov), pri každom vstupe do USA máte povolený pobyt na max. 2 roky. Môžete aj mesiac pred skončením víz tak stále dostať schválený pobyt na 2 roky, avšak keď najbližšie opustíte USA, budete si musiet zažiadať o nové víza. Pri obnove víz sa preukazujú hospodárske výsledky, ekonomický vply a prognózy na ďalšie obdobie.
In the United States, it is not required to specify the line of business when setting up a company. You can therefore engage in any business activity under the company for which you have valid visa. For some types of businesses you are required to obtain special permits, licences or pass exams. Business licenses and permits are issued at all levels of government - federal, state, and local (county, city, town, or municipality).
Určitú časť práce musia klienti sami spraviť a to je zabezpečiť si prostriedky na financovanie podnikania a hľadnie svojich klientov. Nevyhľadávame za klientov investorov a ani ich nespájame s ich budúcimi klientmi. Samozrejme máme prehľad o americkom trhu a snažíme sa čo najlepšie poradiť, avšak tieto služby štandardne neposkytujeme.
At the interview, the investor will have to explain the sources of funds and provide adequate documentation as evidence. Personal savings as well as a gift or loan are considered legitimate sources. They have to be supported by relevant documents such as bank statements, gift affidavit or loan contract. Loans have to be secured by the investor's personal assets, not assets of the E-2 enterprise.

11 dôvodov prečo si založiť firmu v USA
1. ANONYMITA Keď si založíte v USA firmu, zakladacia listina je vždy verejná, to však neznamená, že všetky informácie o podnikaní vašej firmy sú sprístupnené verejnosti.
