One Engagement. Multi-Divisional Professional Service. Zero Gaps. Every Emanay division coordinates in real-time from Day 1 — legal, financial, advisory, and real estate moving in parallel, not sequence. For Richard, this means the acquisition, E2 filing, and Canadian cross-border tax planning advance on a single unified timeline — without managing multiple advisors across two countries.

01

Speed

Parallel workstreams compress timelines. Acquisition and E2 filings advance simultaneously — not in sequence.

02

Control

One firm manages all parties — no misaligned incentives or communication gaps between advisors.

03

E2 Alignment

Every deliverable is structured from Day 1 to satisfy USCIS adjudication standards — no rework.

04

Scalability

The platform built for visa qualification becomes the foundation for long-term growth and expansion.

Buy-Side Advisory

Why Acquisition is the
Strongest E2 Strategy

For most E2 applicants, acquiring an existing operating business provides the fastest path to qualification — and the strongest adjudication posture with USCIS.

Building From Scratch — Higher Risk

  • Unproven revenue stream — no historical financial evidence
  • No employment history — harder to satisfy job creation requirement
  • Higher adjudication risk — USCIS scrutinizes viability of new businesses
  • 12–24 month ramp time before the business generates real evidence
  • Uncertain E2 qualification — "more than marginal" standard harder to meet

Acquiring a Business — Recommended

  • Established revenue and cash flow — financial proof exists on Day 1
  • Existing workforce in place — job creation requirement already satisfied
  • Documented operational history — adjudicators see a real, active business
  • Immediate E2 eligibility evidence — purchase price = documented at-risk capital
  • Stronger adjudication posture — active business eliminates viability doubt

Add-On Service
Cross-Border Tax Advisory — Quoted Separately
Recommended for Canadian nationals relocating under E2 — coordinated through Emanay's accounting network. CRA departure tax, RRSP treatment, and US federal and state setup should be initiated in parallel with the E2 program from Day 1.

Home Country Exit Tax

Departure tax analysis, deemed disposition of assets, pre-departure planning to minimize CRA exposure.

Cross-Border Structuring

Canada–US treaty analysis, optimal entity structure, foreign tax credits, and FBAR/FATCA compliance.

U.S. Tax Setup

Federal and state tax registration, first-year filing strategy, business tax elections, and ongoing compliance.

Ongoing Tax Advisory

Annual tax planning across both jurisdictions, IRS and CRA coordination, treaty elections.

Why $50,000

You're Not Paying
for an Advisor.
You're Replacing Six of Them.

Most E2 applicants piece together a law firm, a business broker, a CPA, a transaction advisor, a real estate agent, and a tax specialist — each billing separately, none talking to each other. Emanay replaces every one of them under a single, milestone-based engagement.

CLIENT PROFILE

Richard Cutaia is a Canadian serial entrepreneur based in Toronto — a lifelong founder who has never worked a day in his life because he's always done what he loves. He built one company to 300 employees before selling out when it stopped being fun, worked in Miami from 1987–1993 for an architect before returning to Canada for an entrepreneurial opportunity, and has spent the last decade wintering in Florida. He's done with Canada. He's ready to move. His E2 mandate is to acquire an existing, cash-flowing U.S. business, step in as an engaged owner-operator, and build the next chapter from Florida — where he plays hockey 2–3 times a week and needs to be within 30 minutes of an arena.

Richard Cutaia — Lifelong Entrepreneur

Serial Founder · Toronto · Done Building From Scratch

  • Lifelong entrepreneur — built his career around genuine interest in each venture rather than conventional employment
  • Built one company to 300 employees; sold out when it stopped being fun — clear-eyed on scale and burnout
  • Lived in Miami 1987–1993, working for an architect; has deep roots and active friend network in South Florida
  • Spent the last 10+ years wintering in Florida — this is not exploratory, it's the obvious next move
  • Currently in Toronto — a few remaining obligations to resolve before relocating; timeline is near-term
  • Canadian passport, prior U.S. visa history, clean immigration record — no adjudication complications
Emanay Advisors

What He's Looking For

Cash-Flowing · Existing Staff · Already Running · Hands-On But Not Chained

  • Not interested in building from scratch — has already done that at scale and is looking for an existing, operating business
  • Wants something already successful — cash-flowing, staff in place, not a turnaround or a startup
  • Open across sectors — from smaller owner-operated businesses to larger established operations with growth potential
  • Needs to be involved enough to keep it healthy, but not a slave to it — wants to enjoy Florida
  • Has thought about consulting — leveraging his multi-industry founder experience to help other entrepreneurs
  • Capital: $250K or less, personal savings — clean, documentable, no third-party loans
Emanay Advisors

Geography & Lifestyle Requirements

Florida-Wide · Hockey Within 30 Min · Up-and-Coming Over Saturated

  • Open across Florida — not locked to Miami, actively looking at Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Melbourne, Daytona Beach
  • Preference for growth-stage Florida markets over saturated metros — interested in communities with momentum, not peak development
  • Must be within 30 minutes of a hockey arena — plays adult hockey 2–3x/week, already on a team in Miami
  • Qualified markets: Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers (Everblades), Tampa, Orlando, Palm Beach
  • Doesn't need to be a stone's throw from the business — the right deal in the right market matters more
  • Lifestyle priorities are clear — the acquisition must support an active Florida life, not consume it
Emanay Law Group

E2 Viability Assessment

Rating: HIGH ✓

  • Canadian passport — treaty country, fully E2 eligible without exception
  • Consulate jurisdiction: Toronto — confirmed, no complications
  • Acquiring existing business with staff in place — strongest possible adjudication posture
  • Existing staff satisfies job creation/preservation requirement from Day 1 at close
  • Clean immigration history — no violations, denials, arrests, overstays, or flags of any kind
  • Active owner-operator model + serial entrepreneurship background = credible USCIS narrative

Emanay Assessment: Richard is a strong E2 candidate with a genuine investment mandate. With over a decade of Florida ties, a clear acquisition thesis, and clean personal capital, this is not a visa purchase — it is a deliberate business move by an experienced entrepreneur who knows exactly what he wants. Emanay's mandate is to source the right Florida acquisition, structure it correctly, and execute the program on Richard's timeline.

Section 02
SCOPE OF WORK

This proposal outlines a comprehensive advisory, legal, financial, and acquisition mandate to identify, acquire, and operationalize a U.S. operating business aligned with the E2 Visa framework. The mandate reflects Richard's profile: Canadian national, serial entrepreneur, $250K capital range, ready to move — acquiring an existing Florida business with staff and revenue, structured from Day 1 for USCIS compliance.

Emanay's mandate: source a Florida-based cash-flowing operating business — existing staff, accessible from a hockey market — structured for USCIS compliance and ready for Richard to step in as active owner-operator. Capital at-risk: $250K or less. Timeline: as fast as it makes sense.
01

Corporate Structure & Governance

E2-aligned entity design — U.S. LLC with Richard as managing member and sole E2 principal.

02

Financial Modeling & Accounting

GAAP-compliant financials, QoE on target, 12-month model, monthly reporting and KPI framework.

03

Legal Infrastructure & Compliance

Entity formation, operating agreements, E2 documentation package, and ongoing corporate compliance.

04

Buy-Side Acquisition Advisory

Off-market Florida sourcing across Richard's target sectors. LOI, underwriting, DD, and close managed by Emanay's deal team.

05

Source-of-Funds & E2 Documentation

Investment documentation, capital trail packaging, and complete USCIS evidence file.

06

Cross-Border Tax & Canadian Exit

CRA departure tax analysis, cross-border tax structuring, and Canadian financial exit planning.

The outcome is not simply visa qualification — it is a fully operational, cash-flowing Florida business with existing staff and customers — one that Richard can run and enjoy while building the Florida life he's been planning for the last decade.

Section 03
PHASE I — ENGAGEMENT SPRINT

The Engagement Sprint (0–6 months) builds the complete business architecture required to satisfy E2 requirements and launch a fully operational U.S. acquisition. Every workstream advances in parallel — legal, financial, advisory, and real estate — so nothing waits on anything else.

i. Strategic Mapping & Corporate Structure

  • E2-aligned entity structuring — U.S. LLC with Richard as managing member and sole E2 principal
  • Single-owner structure with full operational control
  • Holding structure separating Canadian personal capital from U.S. operating entity
  • Capital deployment roadmap aligned with acquisition timeline and USCIS at-risk requirements
  • E2 documentation compiled in parallel with the acquisition process

ii. Financial Modeling & Accounting

  • GAAP-compliant financial preparation from Day 1
  • QoE review of target acquisition — revenue quality, customer concentration, EBITDA normalization
  • 12-month financial model: acquired business entity, revenue and margin by line of business
  • Monthly reporting cadence, KPI framework, and capital deployment tracking
  • E2 capital validation documentation compiled for USCIS evidence package

iii. Legal Infrastructure

  • U.S. entity formation and EIN registration
  • Operating, intercompany, and shareholder agreements drafted
  • Employment agreements for inherited staff and any new hires
  • E2 compliance documentation and operational requirements planning
  • PSA review, due diligence legal workstream, and closing coordination

iv. Business Growth Strategy

  • Growth strategy mapped: operational improvements, new revenue lines, expansion roadmap post-close
  • Go-to-market strategy for growing the acquired business's customer base
  • KPI framework and operational governance from Day 1 of ownership
  • CRM and operational systems implementation
  • Operational handoff plan aligned with acquisition close date

v. Source-of-Funds & Capital Documentation

  • Full documentation of investment capital — personal savings and entrepreneurial earnings
  • Bank statements, tax returns, and earnings history packaged for USCIS
  • Capital sourced from decades of founder income — clean, traceable, no third-party loans
  • Capital deployment timeline aligned with acquisition closing date and USCIS at-risk standard
  • Clean paper trail assembled across all capital sources prior to visa application filing

vi. Buy-Side Acquisition

  • Florida buy-side mandate activated immediately — sector priorities and acquisition criteria locked with Richard
  • Target profile: existing staff, positive cash flow, documented revenue, manageable owner involvement
  • Off-market outreach and proprietary deal flow prioritized over BizBuySell listing noise
  • LOI drafting, negotiation, financial underwriting, and close management by Emanay's deal team
  • Every acquisition structured for E2 compliance and capital documentation from Day 1

Sprint Outcomes — Upon Completion Richard Will Have: A fully structured, compliant U.S. entity · An acquired operating Florida business with existing staff and active revenue · Capital deployed and fully documented for USCIS · A complete E2 application package ready for consulate filing · Legal U.S. business infrastructure live and ready to scale.

Section 04
BUY-SIDE ACQUISITION ADVISORY

Richard's acquisition mandate is clear: an existing Florida business with staff in place, documented revenue, and manageable owner involvement. Having built and sold companies before, he is not interested in a startup or turnaround — the target must be operational from Day 1. Emanay's buy-side mandate runs from the start of the engagement, applying institutional-grade underwriting and off-market sourcing to find the right acquisition rather than the easiest one.

The Typical E2 Approach

  • Browse BizBuySell for the cheapest qualifying listing
  • No independent financial underwriting — take the seller's numbers at face value
  • Immigration lawyer files the visa; deal advisory is an afterthought
  • Business selected for minimum cost, not quality or long-term fit
  • Fragmented: law firm, broker, CPA, and advisor all working separately

The Emanay Approach

  • Off-market Florida sourcing and proprietary deal flow — quality targets, not noise
  • Independent QoE and financial underwriting — Richard's standard, Emanay's execution
  • Deal advisory + legal + accounting fully integrated under one engagement
  • Business selected for genuine fit — cash flow, manageable involvement, right Florida market
  • Buy-side only — Emanay represents Richard, not the seller

Target Acquisition Profile

  • Geography: Florida — Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Tampa, Orlando, or Palm Beach (hockey-accessible markets)
  • Business type: Existing operating business — Technology, Real Estate, Hospitality, or best available sector
  • Revenue: Positive, documented, recurring — not pre-revenue or turnaround
  • Staff: Existing team in place — satisfies E2 job preservation from Day 1
  • Owner model: Owner-operated, ready for succession — motivated seller preferred
  • Capital: Sub-$250K acquisition price — clean at-risk deployment

E2 Adjudication Alignment

  • Substantial investment: Capital fully deployed at close — at risk, documented, traceable to personal savings
  • More than marginal: Existing revenues, staff, and active operations satisfy USCIS standard from Day 1
  • Job creation: Existing staff retained at close — satisfies requirement immediately
  • Active management: Richard as hands-on owner-operator — serial entrepreneur background anchors credibility
  • Treaty national: Canadian passport — E2 eligible, Toronto consulate jurisdiction confirmed
Section 05

Section 06
THE EMANAY ECOSYSTEM

Most E2 applicants spend months trying to coordinate a law firm, a business broker, a CPA, a transaction advisor, and a real estate agent — none of whom talk to each other, and none of whom care about the quality of the underlying acquisition. Emanay is different. Four divisions. One engagement. Everything in parallel.

A Canadian attorney with a 15-year practice, Dave relocated to the U.S. under the E2 program — building a qualifying business, navigating the filing process, and coming out the other side with his visa and his family established in the U.S. He joined Emanay specifically to work with clients going through the same process. His background closely mirrors Richard's profile and he will be personally involved throughout this engagement.

Emanay E2 Program — Client Case Study
David Rosati
Canadian Attorney, 15-Year Practice · E2 Visa Holder · Partner at Emanay Advisors
David went through the E2 process before Emanay's program existed and experienced firsthand how fragmented, stressful, and avoidable the pitfalls are. He was denied on a first attempt despite a clean application — resubmitted with zero changes — and was approved at his next interview in three questions. That experience is precisely why he joined Emanay and why the program was built the way it was. His full case study is required reading for anyone considering the E2 path.

Case Study

The Challenge

  • Canadian attorney looking to relocate his family to the U.S. on an E2 visa
  • Needed a qualifying investment — built an online will-builder platform from scratch
  • Was "pulling his hair out" trying to coordinate fragmented advisors across the process
  • Struggled to balance the E2 filing timeline with building the underlying business

The Outcome

  • E2 visa approved — Dave and his family successfully relocated to the U.S.
  • Online will-builder still active and running today
  • Dave joined Emanay full-time as a partner — now helps other Canadian clients through the same process
  • 15-year M&A attorney background; personally available to Richard on a follow-up call

The reason Dave joined Emanay is the same reason this program exists: because he lived the fragmented version, knows exactly how painful it is, and wanted to make sure nobody else has to go through it that way. Richard will work directly with Dave throughout the engagement.
