My name is Renato Toraci Dulcetti, I have a couple of children, I am married, and currently I live in Miami, United States. Before, I used to live in Belém do Pará, Brazil.

[music] Well, I knew Visa Franchise through a friend of mine. I knew a bit about, I had heard about the E-2 Visa from people who had already invested on it, but I did not have the knowledge exactly of how it would work, how I could apply to it. It was through Visa Franchise that I understood better the visa process and realized that in my case since I had the Italian passport and the nationality, it would be the best fit to my situation.

[music] Honestly, I had always wanted to invest here in the United States. In the beginning, I did not know if it was necessary to move here or not. Through Visa Franchise, I learned about a business model that brought me considerable interest to invest, with great growth possibilities. And so, I chose to come here to help on the daily management of the business, and an opportunity to live and experience a new culture, be here and create a daily routine. Obviously, safety was a concern as well, that is fundamental when you have children. We know what is happening in Brazil, the daily difficulties in security matters. In total, I think all the factors added up and made me make this decision to invest here; generating jobs, generating income and continue growing here with time.

[music] Well, I invested in a barber chain, I liked their concept very much. It is a business that has existed for centuries and from this past decade to now the industry is growing in an excellent way. Now, the concept, the way they created it, the reinterpretation of this process was fundamental to me.

They have a modern concept on barber shops. At the same time, they link it to a lot of vintage elements, armchairs elements, for example, of the 20’s. You are able to mix the modern with old-fashioned.

Obviously, the goal is to also be able to expand the business that is growing and working very well. [music] Visa Franchise showed me some business opportunities. We visited a few but for my specific situation, I preferred, as I said, the Barber Shop.

The time between the first visit, the negotiation and the decision-making, was a total of three weeks. After the business decision was made, it took three more months to obtain the visa. [music] Honestly, I am very satisfied. We had a goal to achieve a certain level of income and generate a set number of work positions that by our own business plan would take two, three years. We were able to reach these established goals in the third month after opening.

[music] Visa Franchise was fundamental because it presented a range of businesses to review so that we could choose. In my situation, I chose the one that I had greater synergy, and also offered complete counseling, which I call 360. It can help with immigration issues, with the tax planning matter in relation to the business, business plans with market study. Everything was no doubts very fundamental to obtain the visa and to make the decision to invest in the United States.

[music] Well, so far, my experience has been pretty positive, in my opinion, it has been the best possible. We notice here a stable jurisdiction in the investment, the rules are clear. In relation to the work process it is the best possible.

There is a structure in place that is good for who wants to undertake, to who wants to make the business grow and also to who wants to work in the business. In relation to the tax issue for example, you see that here the taxes apply mostly to the income and not the production. The experience I have in Brazil is of a labor and tax system extremely complex, without clear rules, and you lose half of your time trying to solve red tape issues.

Here you have all your time dedicated to your business, to the growth of it, to the competitors, to the strategy, to the service quality. In addition, you do not need to be standing still, worried about papers, about things that in Brazil are still unfortunately very common. [music] My experience so far has been the best possible.
