Startup Visa

You can apply for a Start-up visa if you want to set up an innovative business in the UK – it must be something that’s different from anything else on the market.

You must meet the following requirements in order for the application to be successful:

You must be endorsed by an authorized body that is either:

• A UK higher education institution
• A business organization with a history of supporting UK entrepreneurs

You must be able to show that your business idea is:

• A new idea – you cannot join in a business that is already trading
• Innovative – you must have an original business idea which is different from anything else on the market
• Viable – it has potential for growth

Before you apply you need to have your business or business idea assessed by an endorsing body. They will provide you with an endorsement letter if your business is viable.

Do not worry. We will help with business plan and endorsement. This is the main expertise of the partners and associates we work with.

You must also:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Meet the English language requirement
• Be able to prove that you have enough personal savings to support yourself while you’re in the UK
• Read the specific requirements for the Start-up visa before you apply.
• Supporting yourself; You need to have had at least £1270 in your bank account for 28 consecutive days before you apply, or if you’ve been in the UK for less than a year and applying to switch to this visa.
