How foreign franchisors can expand into the United States using foreign franchisees

July 15, 2015 Henry J. Chang, Dentons LLP Corporate Immigration, Human Resources

Foreign-based franchisors may wonder how difficult it would be to expand their businesses into the United States. One possible solution is for the foreign-based franchisor to initially sell its U.S. franchises to citizens of its home country, or citizens of other countries where it may already have an established presence. Fortunately, in most cases, a foreign franchisee will be eligible to own and operate a franchised business under the E-2 treaty investor category.
