Hypothetical example: someone in Laval weighs founding a new company against buying an operating one, and cannot yet say which structure they would actually control, fund and staff in the United States. That comparison shapes every later question.
Six routes stay open on this site: TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2, EB-5 and the Gold Card, which is not a conventional visa category. Current requirements for each need checking before you compare them. The consultation closes with a written plan naming the route, the deciding record, the person who must issue any correction and the filing date. Reading the six route pages beside one another shows which of those four things a category studies hard and which it does not look at once. Legal eligibility, business diligence and tax consequences are often separate specialties, and one adviser may not cover all three.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Set out the role you would hold in either version.

Decide first whether you would own a company you build or one you acquire. Write down what you do not yet know about either version.

Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Write a short description of the start-up you would create and the business you might acquire, side by side.
Note which figures, agreements and ownership details you cannot confirm today for either version, and who could supply them.
Request a free initial consultation remotely and use it to frame the comparison rather than to submit personal documents.
Ask how any later document examination would be arranged, and which route-specific questions an attorney would need answered first.
A written comparison lets you brief advisers once instead of re-explaining. Name the version you would proceed with today, and the fact that would change your mind.
Find your pathwayWe work with people in Laval remotely and offer a free initial consultation. We are not a law firm; where a matter calls for U.S. legal advice, we collaborate with a licensed U.S. attorney.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
No. Bring both versions as you understand them. The call is for structuring the comparison, identifying what is unknown, and deciding which questions need a licensed U.S. attorney.
That depends on facts we have not seen and on current requirements, which need checking. We can explain what each category generally concerns so you know which details to gather.
Please keep the first enquiry brief and free of personal documents. Ask during the call how any later examination of records would be arranged securely with the professionals involved.
Ask whether a company contact can join. If an accountant or a co-owner holds the numbers behind either version, having them there means answers do not have to travel through you.
