Latin America service area

For a very large number of Latin American businesses and families, the first American address is in South Florida. Flight times are short, the commercial and cultural links are decades old, and the professional infrastructure already speaks the language. That is why so many regional companies establish their first U.S. entity here and why so many families choose it when they relocate.

The work that follows tends to cluster in real estate and hospitality, logistics and trade, food and beverage, professional services, technology and light manufacturing.

Treaty-based options such as E-2 are available to nationals of several countries in the region and not to others, which makes the first conversation a question of nationality as much as of business plan. Where a treaty is unavailable, L-1 transfers, EB-5, employment-based sponsorship and family immigration are the usual alternatives.

On the Florida side, the recurring questions are which entity to form, how foreign ownership should be documented, how funds are traced and evidenced, and how leases, purchase agreements and acquisition documents should be drafted so that they support rather than undermine the immigration filing.
