Two catalogue facts are separate: a Florida territory check, and our research flag for franchises often considered by E-2 investors. Neither fact is an immigration approval, and neither is a complete count of the Florida market. E-2 eligibility depends on the investment and on USCIS and State Department review. USCIS says the investor must be a national of a treaty country, must invest a substantial amount of capital in a real operating U.S. enterprise, and must develop and direct it. The enterprise cannot be marginal.
Use /state/florida for brands with a Florida territory check, and /lists/e2-visa-franchises for franchises often considered by E-2 investors. This is not legal advice. E-2 eligibility depends on the investment and on USCIS and State Department review. Our research flag is not a franchisor statement. Talk to an immigration attorney.
E-2 rules that USCIS publishes
The investor must be a national of a treaty country. The State Department keeps the list.
Source: State Department treaty countries (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/fees/treaty.html).
USCIS says a "substantial" investment is relative: "the lower the cost of the enterprise, the higher, proportionately, the investment must be." There is no fixed dollar minimum on the USCIS page.

The enterprise cannot be marginal. It must have the present or future capacity to generate more than a minimal living for the investor, possibly within five years for a new business (8 CFR 214.2(e)(15)).
Source: 8 CFR 214.2 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/8/214.2).
The initial stay is up to 2 years. Extensions are granted in increments of up to 2 years, with no limit on the number of extensions.

A spouse and unmarried children under 21 may accompany the investor. Spouses are employment authorized incident to status.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Florida listing decide an E-2 visa?
No. USCIS and the State Department review each investor. A Florida territory check and our research flag are catalogue facts. E-2 eligibility depends on the investment and on that review.
Where can I see Florida franchise brands?
The Florida directory is /state/florida. It lists brands with a Florida territory check in our catalogue. Confirm the city or county with the franchisor.
Where is the list of franchises often considered by E-2 investors?
That list is /lists/e2-visa-franchises. The research flag is not a franchisor statement. E-2 eligibility depends on the investment and on USCIS and State Department review.
How long is an E-2 stay?
USCIS says the initial stay is up to 2 years, with extensions in increments of up to 2 years and no limit on the number of extensions. Source: USCIS, E-2 Treaty Investors (https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/e-2-treaty-investors).
