Is TealBridge Investments a broker or a law firm?

Neither. We are an advisory team. We do not represent sellers, we do not earn brokerage commissions, and we do not practice law. Legal, accounting, brokerage, and escrow work is coordinated through licensed partners.

What deal sizes do you work with?

We focus on acquisitions between $500K and $10M - the range where an operating business is large enough to support an investor visa case and small enough to be owner-operated.

Can you help before an LOI is signed?

Yes. Most clients engage us before the LOI, at the search and screening stage. We also take on deals already under LOI for independent due diligence and valuation review.

How does due diligence connect to an investor visa?

The same numbers that justify the purchase price justify the investment amount in the visa file. We verify financials in a way that can be documented for a consular officer or USCIS, and we flag structures that would weaken the case.

Do you prepare business plans too?

Yes. TealBridge writes consulate-ready E-2 business plans, and for acquisitions the plan is built directly on the diligence findings and the investment memorandum.

TealBridge Investments | Business Acquisition Advisory

TealBridge Investments

U.S. business acquisition advisory for investors who need the deal to work as a business and as the foundation for an investor visa.

An independent advisory team, neither a law firm nor a business broker, with 150+ approved investor visa cases, working at the intersection of corporate finance and immigration consulting.

Advisory through closing and the immigration file

Buying a business in the U.S. is not hard. Buying the right business, at the right price, with the right structure - and securing an investor visa on that foundation - is a different job entirely.

Foreign investors entering the U.S. market face a double risk: business risk (wrong asset valuation, hidden liabilities, overpaying) and immigration risk (a deal that does not meet USCIS or consular standards). TealBridge addresses both.

We structure deals to work twice: as a business, and as grounds for a visa. Our focus is the $500K-$10M segment.

Services

Three mandates, one process.

Business Acquisition Advisory

End-to-end support for acquiring an existing business - from search and initial analysis to closing. We work in the $500K-$10M segment, focusing on assets with real operating activity, scalability, and U.S. employee headcount: businesses that meet the criteria of E-2 and other investor visa categories.

What's included

Defining search criteria
Deal sourcing and initial screening
Seller negotiations
Due diligence
Investment memorandum preparation
Closing coordination through attorneys, CPAs, escrow agents, and other partners

Due Diligence

Independent verification of the asset before or after signing the LOI, depending on the stage of negotiations. We examine not only the numbers, but how those numbers will look to USCIS or a consular officer.

Scope

Financial: P&L reconstructed from three years of bank statements; verified P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and valuation opinion
Business: risks, team, marketing, sales, competitive analysis, metrics, products, growth drivers, projections, liabilities, and strategic fit - delivered as an investment memorandum
Legal: legal standing, legacy risks, employee classification, and client and vendor contracts - legal risk opinion issued through qualified counsel

Business Valuation & Deal Structuring

Fair market valuation of the asset and deal structuring with the "substantial investment" requirement of investor visa categories in mind. We help you understand what investment amount is defensible and how to document it.

What's included

Valuation using market multiples, asset-based, and income-based approaches
Equity and asset purchase structuring
Investment justification memo for the visa package
