At Visa Business Plans, crafting an immigration business plan is not just a process—it’s a commitment to excellence. We’re not in the business of shortcuts or quick fixes. Every plan we create is the result of meticulous effort, exhaustive quality control, and a relentless focus on outcomes. We care deeply about our clients’ success and put in the hard work others don’t, all to deliver a business plan that helps secure their visa. Here’s how we do it.
Step 1: The Foundation—Building the Relationship
We begin with a meaningful conversation with every prospect to understand their needs, vision, and business goals. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s about ensuring we’re a good fit for one another. We don’t take on every case. Instead, we focus on clients who value our expertise and share our commitment to excellence.
If the prospect aligns with our vision, we explain our proprietary methodology, walking them through what they can expect. Transparency is essential; we want clients to feel confident, educated, and well-informed as we embark on this path together. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s a collaborative process designed to ensure success.
Step 2: The Initial Work Session
Once retained, we schedule a one-hour work session led by the financial specialist assigned to the project. This session is an intensive, deep dive into the client’s business, growth strategy, and intentions in the U.S.
During this session, the financial specialist answers questions, provides actionable advice, and ensures every nuance of the business is understood. This isn’t just about gathering information—it’s about creating a collaborative space where we can start building the foundation for a successful plan. By the end of this session, we have a comprehensive understanding of the business and its potential challenges.
Step 3: Team Collaboration—Detail by Detail
After the work session, the project is handed off to our multidisciplinary team. This isn’t a simple review—it’s a thorough, collaborative effort in which top specialists from different areas of expertise examine the case.
Every team member—whether focused on finance, operations, or content—raises questions, identifies potential issues, and clarifies details. This phase is critical because it allows us to anticipate any potential issues that could arise during the visa application process. By addressing these proactively, we create a plan so thorough that immigration authorities rarely challenge.
Step 4: Developing the Financial Model
The financial team takes the lead at this stage, crafting a financial model tailored to the client’s business. This isn’t about generic projections—it’s about creating a realistic and compelling financial roadmap that is based on industry benchmarks, aligns with the client’s goals and supports the narrative of a viable and sustainable business.
If gaps or inconsistencies are found, the team consults the client for clarification. And if we identify anything that could compromise the visa application, we immediately notify the attorney. This vigilance ensures the plan is as strong and thorough as possible.
Step 5: Rigorous Quality Control—The First Round
Once the financial model is complete, it undergoes its first quality control review. Our proprietary 77-point checklist—developed over 15 years of tracking visa trends and RFEs—is used to scrutinize every detail.
After this review, the Project Manager steps in to evaluate the financial model from a fresh perspective. They ensure it aligns with the client’s vision, is free of errors, and meets our rigorous standards. Only after the Project Manager’s approval does the project move forward.
Step 6: CEO Pre-Approval—Raising the Bar
With the financial model polished, it’s submitted to our CEO, Mr. Scanu, for pre-approval. This is where the plan is put to the ultimate test.
Drawing on his 35+ years as a successful entrepreneur and 15 years of experience in business immigration, Mr. Scanu reviews the financial model with a dual perspective: business viability and immigration compliance. He challenges the team’s work, posing tough questions and playing devil’s advocate to ensure the plan is as strong as it can be.
If adjustments are needed, the model goes back to the drawing board. This rigorous back-and-forth process is a testament to our commitment to perfection.
Step 7: Crafting the Narrative
While the financial model is being finalized, our writer begins crafting the narrative. This isn’t just about creating content—it’s about blending storytelling with strategy.
The narrative complements the financial data, highlighting the client’s vision and showing how the business will succeed in the U.S. Once the narrative is complete, it undergoes two rounds of editorial review. First, an experienced editor checks for accuracy and alignment with immigration requirements. Then, a Senior Editor reviews the project with fresh eyes, ensuring it’s cohesive, error-free, and compelling.
Step 8: Blending the Elements—The Senior Editor’s Role
At this stage, the Senior Editor takes the approved financial model and narrative and combines them into a seamless, polished document. This isn’t just proofreading—it’s about ensuring every element works together to create a comprehensive and compelling business plan that follows the required legal framework of the visa our client is applying for.
The Senior Editor conducts another quality control review, ensuring no errors or inconsistencies remain. Their work adds another layer of refinement, guaranteeing the plan is ready for final review.
Step 9: Final CEO Review—The Icing on the Cake
Before the plan is delivered to the client, it undergoes a final review by Mr. Scanu. His feedback and insights add the finishing touch, elevating the plan to the highest standard.
During this review, he may include notes or recommendations for the attorney or client, providing strategic advice to strengthen the business side of the case even further. This step is not just about approval—it’s about ensuring the plan reflects the dedication, expertise, and care that define our work.
Step 10: Delivery and Minimal Revisions
The first version of the business plan is delivered to the client for their review. Thanks to our exhaustive process, revisions are minimal—averaging just 0.4 rounds per project. Most changes are minor and resolved quickly, allowing attorneys to file cases without delays.
