There is no fixed dollar amount. The investment must be substantial relative to the cost of the business, sufficient to show real commitment and enough to develop and run the enterprise.
The E-2 rules deliberately avoid a set minimum. Instead the investment is judged on a proportionality test: the lower the total cost of the business, the higher the proportion of that cost your investment must represent to be considered substantial.
The capital must be at risk in the commercial sense, meaning it is committed and subject to partial or total loss if the business fails, and it must be directed toward a real, operating, profit-seeking enterprise rather than a passive or speculative holding. The amount must also be enough to make it likely you will successfully develop and direct the business, not a marginal enterprise that only supports you and your family.
