Opening the restaurant is half the job. The other half, the one firms rarely mention, is landing a family in a country whose administrative codes and circuits it does not know. Relocations rarely fail because of the business: they fail because daily life never caught up.

- Support and interpreting at your first appointments: DMV, bank, school
The credit history trap
You can arrive in Florida with thirty years of impeccable banking history in France and still be refused a simple phone contract: your record does not cross the Atlantic. In the United States everything is built from zero, and it governs renting a home as much as financing a car. We show you how to start that file in your first weeks.
And your spouse?
The spouse of an E-2 visa holder can work freely in the United States, for any employer or self-employed. Children under 21 attend school without a separate student visa. We help you prepare this side of the move in advance, so everyone finds their footing on arrival.
Let us talk about your project
The first call is free and without obligation. After that conversation we send you a detailed proposal setting out our support packages and the fees matched to your project.
