Dear Sajha friends. I have a question here. Please help me with any inputs you have.

I have a relative who wants to open a resturant in US. He said he would be able to finance upto 200 to 300 thousand dollars. He has been in and out of the US multiple times, so he doesn't have any problem with getting the visa. So the question is: can he as a foreigner start a small business here? Will he get some kind of work permit in here if he were able to start a business? or would he have to apply for visa every time he wants to come to US (I ask this because his main resturant business is a different country and is settled there)? Please help me with your suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
