Read the general investor planning overview
A Shediac investor should show how each proposed revenue stream operates and how the shared resources are funded. Two activities can be part of a business plan without justifying duplicate capital entries or unsupported revenue.
Describe current operations and future plans
Identify actual sales, service arrangements, equipment and responsibilities. Keep an unopened activity visibly projected. Explain which costs and resources are shared and which belong to a particular service line.
Prove the investor conditions
At least 50% relevant treaty-country national enterprise ownership, development and direction, substantial at-risk capital and lawful source and path remain required. E-2 has no universal minimum. The same equipment payment should not be counted twice because it serves two purposes.
Support economic capacity
Apply the nonmarginality framework, including more than minimal living for the investor and family or significant economic contribution. E-2 does not impose EB-5’s ten-job rule. Combined forecasts still need credible evidence and realistic expenses.
