Entrepreneurs and Business People

You may be thinking about applying to come to the UK to set up or join an existing business, partnership or establish yourself as a sole trader. Firstly, you must be able to demonstrate that you have at least £200,000 of your own money to invest into the business.

There is a considerable amount of planning and work involved in this application to convince the Home Office or British Embassy/ High Commission that you intend to set up or join an existing business in the UK. You will need a strong and detailed business plan, which will set out the aims and objectives of the business. The way in which you structure your company in the UK, from shareholders and your level of investment to the number of people your business proposes to employ, may have a significant impact on the success of your application.

We can help you with the making of this application and advise you each step of the way as to whether your proposals for your business qualify under the Business Person Rules.
