"I watched a lot of YouTube videos and listened to many podcasts, and Visa Franchise kept coming up. I thought, “Okay, they’re very interesting—I have to meet with them.” That’s how I first found out about you, and I have to say, Visa Franchise has been amazing throughout the entire process."
Elodie Chatelain
"Visa Franchise definitely helped us a lot because I had no idea where to start my research or how to contact companies. It didn’t matter what type of visa it was since we had no idea how much we needed to spend. Once we started talking with Visa Franchise, I said, “Listen, this is my budget. Find something that fits so I can apply for an E-2 visa."
Alessandro Abel
"One of the best ROI decisions I’ve ever made was definitely going with your team. Having thousands of data points already analyzed on my screen helped me make the best choice in selecting the right franchise."
Adrian Giovannetti
"People like Visa Franchise, who are so confident about the process, offer you 95% assurance and a money-back guarantee. That was very convincing. I must say that a person who believes in their skill set and is ready to say, “I’ll guarantee it,” truly demonstrates professionalism."
Nitin Mahajan
"We approached Visa Franchise after watching their YouTube channel as we were trying to figure out which visa would apply to our situation. It can be overwhelming. Patrick and his team were incredibly responsive and thoroughly evaluated our situation. We ended up with a visa that matched our needs, and it has just been approved."
Jason & Arielle Smith
"Visa Franchise presented me with several options. DreamMaker Kitchen & Bath stood out because of its full-service, turnkey business model, which was the closest to what I had done in Brazil."
Antonio Almada
"Setting up a business during a pandemic, without being able to travel to the US, was a real challenge. Visa Franchise was instrumental in helping me navigate through these difficult times. Thank you, Patrick, Jack, and the entire Visa Franchise team for making this dream a little easier."
Gilberto Sacramento
"What I really appreciated was the homework you gave me. It was a lot of work, but it helped me explore business models I hadn’t even considered before. You gave me a broader perspective on my options, which ultimately led me back to the pet business."
