CLIENT PROFILE
Orna Ben Shamol is an Israeli entrepreneur and food innovator with a clear, differentiated vision: build a U.S.-based protein snack brand — manufactured on American soil — and scale it through major retail channels and the Tati Kitchen platform. Orna brings a ready-made product concept, a passion for health-forward food, and a strategic partnership with Tati Kitchen that provides an immediate operational home for product development, kitchen access, and direct-to-consumer distribution. This is not a startup from scratch — it is a brand with a product, a platform partner, and a distribution channel already in place.

Background
Orna Ben Shamol — Food Entrepreneur & Brand Builder
- Israeli entrepreneur with a fully developed protein-based treat concept ready for U.S. market launch
- Product line positioned for the functional food / better-for-you snack category — a multi-billion dollar, high-growth U.S. market
- Has established a strategic partnership with Tati Kitchen for U.S. market entry, product development, and DTC distribution
- Plans to manufacture products in the U.S. and pursue placement with major retail chains
- Tati Kitchen will serve as both operational base and a co-distribution partner — selling her products to Tati's existing customer base and on the Tati platform
- Intends to leverage Tati's technology infrastructure to track sales, manage inventory, and run the brand
- No prior visa violations, denials, arrests, or immigration issues
The Tati Kitchen Partnership
A Built-In Platform for E2 Qualification
- Kitchen access: Tati's licensed commercial kitchen provides an immediate, compliant manufacturing base for product development and initial production runs
- DTC sales channel: Tati sells Orna's products directly to its existing customer network — generating early, documented revenue for the E2 file
- Platform integration: Tati's technology platform tracks sales, customer data, and brand performance — institutional-grade reporting from Day 1
- Brand development: Tati Kitchen co-develops and incubates Orna's brand, providing culinary expertise, food-safe infrastructure, and market access
- Kitchen lease: Formal co-use or lease agreement between Orna's U.S. entity and Tati Kitchen creates documented, at-risk qualifying capital for USCIS

- Positioned for placement in major U.S. retailers — grocery, specialty, and big-box channels

- U.S. manufacturing ensures supply chain control, freshness, and "Made in the USA" positioning
- New concept development capability via Tati Kitchen infrastructure — pipeline for product line expansion

E2 Viability Assessment
Rating: HIGH ✓
- Israeli passport — Israel is an E2 treaty country, Orna is fully eligible
- Investment into an active operating partnership (Tati Kitchen) — strong adjudication posture
- Kitchen lease + brand investment = documented, at-risk, multi-layered capital deployment
- Revenue generation via Tati platform provides immediate proof of commercial activity
- Job creation: manufacturing, kitchen operations, brand and sales roles — USCIS "more than marginal" standard met
- Clean immigration history — no flags or complications
Emanay Assessment: Orna Ben Shamol presents a compelling and highly executable E2 profile. Her strategic partnership with Tati Kitchen provides something rare in E2 applications — a pre-existing operational platform that generates immediate, documented revenue, a licensed commercial facility, and a built-in distribution channel. The combination of kitchen lease investment, brand development spend, and technology integration creates a multi-layered, well-documented capital deployment story. The path is clear: build the U.S. entity around the Tati Kitchen partnership, structure the investment for USCIS compliance, launch the brand, and file.
Section 02
SCOPE OF WORK
This proposal outlines a comprehensive advisory, operational, financial, legal, and brand execution mandate to launch Orna's protein snack brand in the U.S., structure the Tati Kitchen partnership as a qualifying E2 investment, and build a scalable business aligned with USCIS requirements. Every deliverable is designed to simultaneously advance the brand launch and satisfy the E2 application — no duplicated effort, no misaligned timelines.
Emanay's mandate: structure Orna's investment through the Tati Kitchen partnership, launch her protein treat brand in the U.S., build the retail and DTC distribution strategy, and file a clean, well-documented E2 petition — on a single, unified timeline.
01
Corporate Structure & Governance
E2-aligned U.S. entity design, holding structure, kitchen lease framework between Orna's company and Tati Kitchen, governance protocols, and capital deployment roadmap aligned with USCIS requirements.
02
Brand Development & Market Strategy
Brand architecture for the protein treat line, naming, positioning, packaging strategy, and go-to-market plan for both the Tati DTC channel and major retail buyer outreach.
03
Financial Modeling & Accounting
GAAP-compliant financials, KPI systems, 12-month model and budget, monthly reporting, E2 capital validation, and revenue tracking across Tati platform sales and retail channels.

05
Tati Platform Integration

06
Capital Readiness & E2 Eligibility
Investment documentation structuring, source-of-funds packaging, kitchen lease capitalization, and full evidence package structured to USCIS adjudication standards for the E2 petition filing.
The outcome is not simply visa qualification — it is a fully operational, revenue-generating U.S. food brand with a documented retail strategy, a live DTC channel through Tati Kitchen, and a scalable production platform — all backed by a clean, compliant E2 filing that positions Orna to build her brand in the U.S. on her own terms.
Section 03
PHASE I — ENGAGEMENT SPRINT
The Engagement Sprint (0–6 months) builds the complete business architecture required to satisfy E2 operational requirements, launch the protein treat brand, formalize the Tati Kitchen partnership, and establish institutional-grade systems for scaling. Every workstream runs in parallel — legal entity, kitchen agreement, brand launch, financial infrastructure, and E2 documentation advance simultaneously on a single unified timeline.

Section 04
BRAND STRATEGY & TATI KITCHEN PARTNERSHIP
For Orna, the Tati Kitchen partnership is not just a manufacturing arrangement — it is the commercial foundation of the E2 qualification strategy. A well-structured partnership creates documented capital deployment, live revenue, a technology infrastructure for compliance reporting, and an immediate customer base. The brand itself must be built simultaneously — because the E2 petition requires a credible, forward-looking business plan, not just a lease agreement.
Entering the U.S. Market Alone
- Unproven revenue stream at time of E2 filing
- No employment history for USCIS documentation
- Higher adjudication risk — "marginality" concern
- 12–24 month ramp time before operational proof
- Investor must actively direct the business to satisfy E2 involvement requirements
Brand Launch Through Tati Kitchen Partnership
- Established revenue & cash flow — documented immediately
- Existing workforce on Day 1 — satisfies job creation requirement
- Documented operational history — strongest adjudication posture
- Immediate E2 eligibility evidence — no ramp required
- Existing management team = owner-not-operator structure preserved

One Engagement. Multi-Divisional Professional Service. Zero Gaps. Every Emanay division coordinates in real-time from Day 1 — legal, financial, advisory, and real estate moving in parallel, not sequence. For Orna, this means the Tati Kitchen partnership formalization, brand launch, E2 filing, and retail strategy all advance on a single unified timeline — without the confusion of managing multiple advisors independently.
Speed
Parallel workstreams compress timelines — acquisition and E2 filings advance simultaneously against Orna's aggressive 3-month target.
Control
One firm manages all parties — no misaligned incentives, no communication gaps, no dropped handoffs.
E2 Alignment
Every deliverable is structured from Day 1 to satisfy USCIS adjudication standards — nothing is retrofitted.
Clarity
Orna gets one point of contact, one team, one coordinated plan — so she can focus on building the brand, not managing advisors.

Add-On Service — Recommended for Orna
Israeli Tax Exit & Cross-Border Structuring — Quoted Separately
Strongly recommended: Israeli residents relocating to the U.S. on an E2 face potential Israeli exit tax obligations, deemed disposition of Israeli assets, and ongoing dual-jurisdiction compliance. U.S.-Israel tax treaty planning should begin immediately to optimize Orna's exit from Israeli tax residency and establish the most efficient structure for her U.S. business income, brand ownership, and any royalty or IP arrangements.
Israeli Exit Tax Planning
Analysis of Israeli departure tax obligations, deemed disposition of business assets and investments, and pre-departure planning to minimize Israeli tax exposure on exit.
Cross-Border Tax Structuring
U.S.-Israel tax treaty analysis, optimal entity structure to avoid double taxation, foreign tax credits, and FBAR/FATCA compliance for U.S.-based brand assets.
U.S. Tax Setup & Compliance
U.S. federal and state tax registration, business entity tax elections, first-year filing strategy, and ongoing compliance as a U.S. resident food brand operator.
Brand IP & Royalty Structuring
Tax-efficient structure for brand IP ownership, inter-company licensing arrangements between Israeli and U.S. entities, and royalty treatment optimization.
