ILW.com E-2 Stats

We sent out a request for information regarding E2s last week, and received a number of responses. We learnt that there are three kinds of E2s.

1. 80% of the E2s are done for small businesses owned by principal investors. The investment amounts range from $100K to $200K with 2 to 3 employees.
2. Almost all of the remaining 20% are franchises. This category of E2 is well defined and a number of immigration attorneys and business plan writers have extensive experience with franchise based E2s.
3. There have been a dozen unsuccessful attempts to do scalable E2s where resources of many investors are pooled  conjointly to execute different parts of the project under professional management.
