Yes. There is no citizenship requirement for owning an educational institution in most U.S. states. We help you form the correct entity structure (typically an LLC or Corporation) and guide you through every regulatory step.
Timelines vary by state. Some states like Florida can approve a license in 3–6 months, while California (BPPE) may take 6–12 months. We provide a realistic timeline during your feasibility assessment.
Not necessarily. Many of our clients operate remotely. We help you appoint local directors, a registered agent, and set up compliant operations so you can manage your institution from anywhere.
SEVP (Student and Exchange Visitor Program) certification allows your institution to enroll international students on F-1 or M-1 visas. If you plan to recruit students from abroad, this certification is essential — and we handle the entire application process.
Yes. While accreditation is a separate process from state licensing, we prepare your institution to meet accreditation standards from the start and guide you through national or programmatic accreditation applications.
That's actually an advantage. We help established international institutions open U.S. branch campuses or partner campuses, leveraging your existing academic infrastructure and reputation.
Costs vary widely based on state, institution type, and scope. A basic vocational school might start at $50K–$100K in setup costs, while a full university can require $250K–$500K+. We provide detailed cost projections during the feasibility phase.
