Charleston, Top deal for E-2 visa visa, a turnkey operation, training included

The East Coast is a privileged destination for the establishment of the French, Belgians, Swiss and Canadians in the USA. Closer than the West Coast, it is a very popular place with less jet lag.

Florida or New York are the destinations that often come back. Despite everything, more and more of our customers have discovered South Carolina, a state with exponential growth, and where the prices of the properties to buy are still affordable.

Charleston is indeed one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. The greater Charleston area has one of the highest growth rates in America as more people leave surrounding counties to take advantage of the city's rapidly improving economy. According to new census estimates, the Charleston area (three counties) was the 12th fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States.

From a strictly practical standpoint, moving to Charleston is a great financial option. In general, South Carolina has low property taxes, ranking 9th of all states. On par with low gas taxes, it is very affordable to live and work. There are many beautiful and affordable waterfront homes, condos, and even apartments.

The education system is one of the best and most extensive in South Carolina. Children of all ages can choose from a variety of schools and colleges

A reliable and strong economy brings many job offers. It's no surprise that Charleston has one of the lowest unemployment rates. Moreover, its economy is also well above the state average.

Finding a quality business for sale is not easy and Charleston is a favored city compared to Florida here.

We very rarely offer business. But here we have a client who came on an E-2 visa almost 10 years ago and wants to sell his business. He is preferably looking for a French-speaking population with knowledge of catering. So here are some details:

Top deal for E-2 visa with support included for installation, visa, and training, turnkey in the heart of Charleston:

- “Covid proof”, increased net sales

- Close to the university which gives you the immense opportunity to find a reliable workforce which is very rare at the moment with the shortage of labor that exists.

- A commercial lease with a low rent which is very rare especially with this premium location

- A strong cash flow compared to the competition

- Part of the new kitchen equipment is new and in particular the grease trap which is one of the major investments in the kitchen

Since its opening, the establishment has experienced a strong increase in its net sales.
