You are allowed to own something.
Work authorisation and ownership are different things in the rules, and almost nobody explains the difference plainly. The distance between reading that and doing something about it is smaller than a year of forums suggests.
Every price is printed on this page
The Library is free and ungated
Taught for people keeping the job that holds their status
01
The belief you arrived with
You have probably been told not to risk it.
Usually by somebody who was right to be careful, and who was answering a different question from the one you asked. Your attorney is paid to keep your filing clean. A broker is paid when you buy. A forum thread is paid nothing and is right about as often as that suggests.
Nobody in that list is paid to explain what you are actually permitted to own. That is the gap this exists to fill.
02
What we will not do
Here is what we do not do, before anything is offered.
We do not file anything, represent anyone, or sign anything on your behalf. We are not a brokerage and we take no fee when you buy a business. We do not sponsor anyone and we cannot promise you an immigration outcome, because nobody honestly can.
We are paid to explain, and we are paid nothing on what you decide. That is the whole arrangement, and it is why we can tell you when the answer is that we cannot help.
03
The distance
Before you buy anything, be certain the distance is real.
Read both columns. If the left one is not you, or the right one is not what you want, close the tab — there is nothing on this page worth your money.
Where you are today
- Your right to stay depends on a signature that is not yours, renewed on someone else's schedule.
- You have read forums at 1 a.m. and come away less certain than when you started.
- Nobody has told you plainly what you are permitted to own, so the idea stays an idea.
Where you want to be
- A route you chose on purpose, because you read the rule that governs it.
- An entity in motion, structured so it does not quietly break your status.
- Ninety days written down and dated, in your name rather than your employer's.

The clock you did not set
The clock you did not set.
Nobody in this market will tell you that waiting has a price, because nobody in it is paid to.
The authorisation that lets you stay is renewed by somebody else, on their schedule. The savings that decide what you could buy grow at one rate and business prices grow at another. The years in which starting something is survivable are not unlimited, and they are the same years your employer is buying.
We are not going to put a countdown on this page. We are going to show you yours. It takes about fifteen minutes and we do not ask for your email.

The market moves
The businesses are being bought.
Owner-run businesses change hands as their owners retire. Every year you wait, someone else buys the one that suited you — and they were not better qualified, only readier.
Your clock moves
Options close quietly.
Validity dates, priority dates and authorisation windows move whether or not you do. A year of waiting is a year of routes narrowing without anyone telling you.
The rules move
Some doors close for good.
The bank lane already closed to non-citizens once. Rules that open can shut — and when they do, the people who had already structured their entity are the ones still standing.
Every figure behind these three is cited and dated in the Library, free and ungated. We would rather you checked them than took our word for it — and if the distance still looks small after reading, do not buy anything.
05
The Library
Everything we know is already written down, and none of it costs anything.
Thirty-six pieces on what people on a visa are actually permitted to own. Every claim is cited to the rule it came from and dated to the day it was true, because the rules move and undated advice is how people get hurt.
Nothing in it asks for an email address. There is no gate, no preview, and no better version waiting behind a form. If you read all of it and never speak to us, that is a good outcome and it is the one we designed for.
The reason it exists is simple. Your attorney is paid for the filing and a broker is paid when you buy, so nobody in this market is paid to write this down. We are.

What is in the way
Four questions, and nothing else.
Every room on this page answers one of them, and each one says which. If a room cannot name the question it closes, it should not exist.
-
01
Which route your status actually allows — and which is a dead end for you.
Answered in the Immigrant Entrepreneur Cohort
-
02
Whether the numbers work, when no bank will look at you without a green card.

Who signs what, in what order, so the entity does not quietly break your status.

04

Where to start
We would rather name one room than sell you the catalogue.
Two questions. Your answers name your distance, price what waiting costs, and filter the full table further down so it only shows what is plausibly yours. Nothing is charged and no email is asked for.
Answer the first question and the answer appears here — usually one room, sometimes two in order, occasionally the honest answer that nothing here is right for you yet.

The rooms
One room to start in. Others that go deeper. Rooms for when a deal is live.
Most entrepreneurs need exactly one of these, and it is almost always the first. We add rooms as entrepreneurs hit walls we can teach through — never to lengthen the list.
Start here · the one room
The Immigrant Entrepreneur Cohort
Four weeks, four live sessions with the leadership team, office hours in between and for thirty days after. You leave with your route chosen, your entity in motion and your next ninety days mapped — not with a folder of recordings.

Your route
The routes that exist, side by side, with what each one turns on and which questions belong to your attorney
-
Week 02
Your numbers
What you can afford, what a business must earn to carry you, and what a seller will accept.
-
Week 03
Your structure
Entity, ownership split and who signs what — in the order that keeps your status intact.
-
Week 04
Your ninety days
A dated plan you walk out with, plus office hours for thirty days while you run it.
Card details never touch this site. Taught programmes are refundable less 5% within 24 hours, until you attend a session; one-to-one time and subscriptions are not. Terms.

When a decision is live
A decision this week does not wait four weeks. These are open whether or not you have taken the Immigrant Entrepreneur Cohort — except where it says otherwise, plainly.
The Corner
$499 for thirty minutes, $899 for the hour.
One live decision, worked through with you. A question about what the rules allow, or a deal that needs an answer this week. Request the room and we will tell you whether it is the right one before anything is booked. Open to anyone.

Quoted per deal
Immigrant Entrepreneur Cohort graduates with a deal in motion
We work your live deal with you, scoped to your situation. There is no payment page here on purpose — scope comes first, then a flat quote. Education and preparation, never representation.

Side by side
Every room, side by side
{{ cmpCount }}
The same four columns for every room, so you can compare what you are actually buying: money, time, and what you hold at the end.
Nothing here fits that budget at that stage — a real answer, not a gap in the list. The Library is free and ungated, and it is where we would send you today.
Compared with what you are doing now
You already have three alternatives. Here they are, honestly.
Forums at 1 a.m.
Free, and endless.
Written by people whose facts are not your facts, mostly out of date, with no way to tell which. You leave less sure than you arrived.
A one-off consult
$400–$600 an hour.
Right for the legal question you already know how to ask. It will not teach you the shape of the whole decision, and the clock is running.
A business broker
Free to you. Paid on the close.
Useful, and not neutral: their fee depends on you signing something. Nobody in that room is paid to tell you to walk away.
The Immigrant Entrepreneur Cohort
{{ cohortCompareLine }}
Taught for your status and your numbers, in a room of entrepreneurs in the same position — and we are paid the same whether you buy a business or decide not to.

Said once, plainly
What we are, what we are not, and what happens after you pay.
No countdown clocks, no invented seat counts.
We are education and preparation.
We teach the rules as written, on worked examples, and get you ready for the rooms where decisions happen.
We are not your attorney, your CPA, or a broker.
We never represent you, and we are never the decision-maker. Every case turns on its own facts — yours are decided by your own licensed advisors.
Terms in one place.
Refundable less 5% within 24 hours for taught programmes; not refundable for one-to-one time and subscriptions. Written once, on the Terms page, never re-worded page by page.
No manufactured urgency.
No countdown timers, no invented seat counts. When a room genuinely fills, this page says so and the button becomes a waiting list.
After you pay
-
NOW
A receipt, named for what you bought — so you can find it later without guessing.
-
< 1 DAY
Your session dates and joining links, plus the worksheet to bring to the first session.
-
AFTER
Nothing else, unless you asked for it. One click unsubscribes from everything optional.
Who this is not for
If you need an employer or a programme to sponsor you, this is not that — we do not sponsor anyone.
If you want a guaranteed immigration outcome, nobody can honestly sell you one, and we will not pretend to.
If you want to be handed a deal, join a brokerage list instead. Here you do the work, with company.
Not today
Ask for dates on the ones you care about.
Tick what you want to hear about. We send dates and a payment link when that programme opens, and nothing else unless you ask. Nothing is charged on this form.
We never sell your information. One click unsubscribes.
Boundaries
Said plainly
What we are, and what we are not.
Education and preparation
We teach published rules as written, on worked examples, and get you ready for the rooms where decisions are made. Where we are reading a rule rather than quoting it, we say so.
Not advice, not representation
We are not a law firm, not your attorney, not your CPA and not a brokerage. No legal, tax, immigration or financial advice, no position taken on your case, and nothing filed or signed for you.
No relationship created
Reading this site or attending a room creates no attorney–client or accountant–client relationship, and no sponsorship of any kind. Nothing said in a room is privileged.
Rules move, and dates matter. Anything we teach is accurate to the date we state and no further — check the date, then take your own facts to your own attorney and CPA. Every case turns on its own facts.
