An L-1 business plan should demonstrate how the U.S. operation will develop and how it fits within the broader structure and objectives of the international organization.

For new office petitions in particular, the plan provides a roadmap for establishing and growing the U.S. business, developing its organizational structure, hiring U.S. personnel, generating revenue, and supporting the intended role of the transferred employee as the operation develops.

Foreign Company & U.S. Operation
Presentation of the international organization, U.S. entity, business activities, and planned relationship between the operations.

U.S. Expansion Strategy
How the company plans to establish, develop, and expand its presence in the United States.

Market Opportunity
Industry research, target customers, market trends, demand, and competitive environment.

Organizational Structure
Current and projected organizational structure, reporting relationships, management responsibilities, and organizational development.

Personnel & Hiring Plan
Positions, job responsibilities, salaries, hiring timeline, and projected U.S. employment.

Transferred Employee's Role
Presentation of the beneficiary's proposed position and responsibilities within the developing U.S. organization.

Marketing & Growth Strategy
How the U.S. operation plans to attract customers, generate revenue, and establish its market presence.

Five-Year Financial Projections
Revenue assumptions, operating expenses, payroll, profitability, and projected financial performance.

For L-1A cases, the business plan can help illustrate the development of the U.S. organization, its management structure, staffing strategy, and the executive or managerial responsibilities of the transferred employee as the company grows.

For L-1B cases, the plan can present the U.S. operation and explain how the transferred employee's specialized knowledge supports the company's business activities, development, and objectives in the United States.

We prepare L-1 business plans for both companies establishing a new U.S. office and international organizations expanding an existing U.S. operation.

For new offices, particular attention is given to the first years of development, organizational growth, staffing, operational milestones, and the evolution of the transferred employee's role as the U.S. business expands.

Every international expansion is different. We review the foreign company's operations, U.S. business strategy, organizational structure, market, staffing requirements, and financial objectives to develop a plan that accurately reflects the proposed U.S. operation.

When working with immigration counsel, we incorporate attorney feedback and revisions so the business plan remains consistent with the overall strategy and supporting documentation of the petition.
