As an Official Partner for several Tier 1 Visa Endorsement Bodies, we have a list of pre-approved idea concepts, which Endorsing Bodies believe have the potential to be further developed with suitable foreign entrepreneurs. This forms part of our business plan services.
These core concepts come direct from the Endorsement Bodies, who are seeking to expand their interests in these particular areas. The "right" candidate should have the relevant expertise and qualification, as well as have the capacity to further contribute and improve on these base ideas, drawing from their work experience and knowledge.
Ultimately, the applicant will need to execute the business plan and be able to demonstrate their skills during an interview with the Endorsing Body and the Home Office.
We match Foreign Investors with Pre-Approved Endorsement Visa Ideas
As these ideas have already been successfully pre-screened, potential foreign co-founders will only need to meet three key criteria:
1) Their background needs to match the business idea and we therefore need to see a copy of their detailed CV/resume;
2) They are prepared to immediately invest, starting from £150,000 GBP; and
3) They are "visa ready" i.e. they meet all the requirements of the visa, such as English language, maintenance etc.
