Ameriadvice supports French and European restaurateurs who want to open or take over a restaurant in Florida. Our work covers the three fronts such a move opens up: the visa and the investment, the restaurant itself, and settling your family in.
We are not attorneys, accountants or real estate agents. We structure your project, coordinate the process and connect you with the licensed professionals in our Florida network. Legal, tax and financial advice remains with those professionals.
E-2 visa and investment
The starting point: checking that your project holds up, setting the investment amount and building a solid case with the specialist attorney in our network.
- Free initial qualifying call
- Structuring the investment
- Support on the E-2 business plan
- Coordination with the E-2 attorney
Opening or taking over your restaurant in Florida
From studying the local market to opening the doors: finding the business, the lease, the company, licenses, build-out and suppliers.
- Feasibility study by city
- Finding a restaurant to take over, or building from scratch
- Premises, lease and acquisition due diligence
- Company formation, licenses and permits
- Recruiting qualified staff from France and Europe
Settling into life in Florida
The part nobody talks about, and the one that decides whether a family relocation works: housing, school, banking, driver’s license, healthcare.
- Housing and school enrollment
- Driver’s license and bank accounts
- SSN or ITIN, building credit history
- Health cover for the family
