E-2 Visa Business Plan Cost: What to Expect and What Affects Price
E-2 business plan pricing varies by provider and scope. Learn what influences cost and what our packages include.
How much does an E-2 business plan cost?
If you have started comparing providers, you have probably seen prices that range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. The differences come down to how much work is involved, who is doing it and what happens after the first draft is delivered.
Instead of focusing only on the price tag, it helps to understand what you are actually buying.
Factors that influence E-2 business plan pricing
Scope of the work
The more analysis and customization a plan requires, the higher the fee is likely to be. For example:
- Narrative only plans cover the story of the business, investment and operations in simple terms
- Plans with detailed financial models require custom revenue and expense projections
- Plans that include tailored market research need time to dig into your location and industry
- Packages with multiple revision rounds or RFE support include extra hours after the first draft
If a price seems very low, it often means you are getting a lightly edited template with minimal financial or market work.
Complexity of the business
Some businesses are straightforward to model and explain. Others take more effort. In general:
- A single location retail shop or local service business is easier to project
- Multi location operations, manufacturing or technology companies need more analysis
- Highly regulated or niche industries can require deeper research and more careful explanation
More complexity usually means more time spent on both the narrative and the numbers.
Type of provider
Prices also reflect who is doing the work:
- Individual freelancers may offer lower fees but have limited E-2 specific experience
- Immigration attorneys sometimes draft basic plans, but many prefer to refer plan writing to specialists
- Dedicated E-2 business plan services focus on this one type of document and usually sit in the middle of the price range
- Full service immigration firms may bundle plan preparation with legal representation at a higher combined fee
The right choice depends on your budget, how complex your case is and how comfortable you are managing the process yourself.
Our E-2 business plan packages
We offer three simple options so you can choose the level of support that fits your case.
| Package | Price | Best for | |--------|-------|---------| | First Draft | $900 | Straightforward cases that need a focused plan and one round of edits | | Standard | $1,300 | Most investors who want deeper financials, fuller market context and two revision rounds | | Premium | $1,900 | Complex or time sensitive cases that benefit from extra revisions and RFE oriented updates |
Every package uses a structure that officers recognize and includes financial projections tied to your actual business. The Premium option adds priority handling and more intensive support if USCIS asks questions later.
Planning the rest of your E-2 budget
The business plan is only one part of the total cost of an E-2 application. You should also account for:
- Attorney fees if you choose to work with an immigration lawyer
- Government filing and visa issuance fees, which vary by country
- Costs to form and maintain your company
- Translation, notarization and other document preparation expenses
- Travel costs for consular interviews if you apply from abroad
Viewed in that context, a well prepared business plan is one of the most direct investments you can make in the strength of your case.
