Hi all
I am from New Zealand but looking to migrate to Las Vegas to be near my daughter who is on a golf scholarship at UNLV. The advise I received from US Consulate in NZ is that I can either buy a business ( as an Investor) or get an employment offer. Employment offer may be hard but i am able to invest some money in a busiess. In anyone able to guide to on what is the easiest option and less costly.
I currently run my own mortgage broking business and my wife is a qualified Town Planner

Fijiana,

Welcome to the Small Business Community. I am the owner of a business/corporate consulting firm. I would love to help you find a business to purchase and help you finance the acquisition. Why don't you email me at mailto:d.skolnick@skolnick-associates.com and tell me some ideas of some businesses you would be interested in running. I can match you up to available businesses and can work to close the deal as fast and as soon as you want.

Warmest regards to you and your family this holiday season,

On a side note, what is New Zealand like?
I have always wanted to visit there.

many thanks for your response. I will send a separate email to you soon giving you some additional information. The type of business I am looking for is one that can give good staff growth. i believe the more employment I can create the easier my chances will be. I plan to come over to Las Vegas early next year.
let me know if you require any further information.
Regards

I spoke with 2 lawyers who call themselves specialists in immigration matters and could use one of them. I havent been to an accountant as yet. No I have not made any business or marketing plans. I dont see it necessary at this stage until i know which business I will end up buying. Once I know which one, then will formulate plans etc. PS> did you get me email to your direct email address?

Fijana,
I am looking to start a business here in Las Vegas, and I would love to talk with you about making either a partial or total investment in my company. It is a transportation company based here right in Las Vegas, and I would love to send you over an Investment Summary to read over.

If you get a chance, Please feel free to e-mail me at brian@diamondinvegas.com, and I will reply with our investment summary.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Best Regards,

Brian Mosko

Fijiana,

I also have a student/athlete attending UNLV. He is a baseball player. My husband and I are 30-year residents of the Las Vegas area. We are selling our Big Apple Bagel franchise bakery/cafe and have it in the Las Vegas Review Journal for $99,000. Coincidently, the sister location of this franchise (there are only two stores in our area) is owned by an guy from England and so I am somewhat familiar with the immigration challenge you are referring to. We are selling the store mostly because of an injury I sustained to my left hand last April leaving me with limited use of the hand. My husband has another job, so it's just not working out for us. The store owner from England was formerly a policeman, so who knows? The store does not have to remain a franchise and the lease is up for negotiation right now. If you may have an interest in owning or owning/operating a business like ours, let me know. Go Rebels!
