Innovator Founder Visa

For experienced businesspeople seeking to establish an innovative business in the UK.

The Innovator Founder Visa is for those wanting to set up and run an innovative business in the UK. Your business idea must be endorsed by an approved endorsing body as innovative, viable and scalable.

Requirements

  • An endorsement from an approved endorsing body.
  • A genuine, original business plan that meets the innovation, viability and scalability criteria.
  • English language ability at the required level.
  • Sufficient maintenance funds.

Settlement

This route can lead to settlement after a qualifying period, provided your business continues to meet the requirements. We advise on endorsement, your business plan and the application.
