Young entrepreneur looking to start a new business in the UK?

Young entrepreneurs with an innovative and new idea for the UK market will be delighted to learn more about the UK Start-up Visa. 

Advantages of the Start-up Visa 

The big advantage of this visa is that no investment funds are required to apply for the visa. You also don’t need the involvement of a UK employer to apply for the visa. 

The Start-up visa is a temporary visa. The entrepreneur will be able to live and work in the UK for two years. After two years on the Start-up visa, the entrepreneur should qualify for a more permanent visa, such as the Innovator visa. It is thus an ideal way to get a foot in the door to the UK economy. 

The entrepreneur can bring his/her spouse/partner and dependent children with him/her to the UK. 

During the two years on the Start-up visa, you can work in your own business or businesses. You will also be able to work for somebody, to support yourself. However, you still have to satisfy the endorsing body you are committed to and continue working on your new business venture. Breytenbachs support and advise visa holders on this route to ensure that they always fulfil the visa requirements. 

The role of the Endorsing Body 

To qualify for the Start-up Visa, an approved endorsing body have to endorse your business idea. 

The endorsement is actually a great advantage to the entrepreneur, as many endorsing bodies commit to mentor and support the entrepreneur during the validity of the Start-up visa. Such a commitment is a valuable benefit for any entrepreneur new to the UK market. 

Breytenbachs Immigration Consultants will introduce visa applicants to the most suitable endorsing bodies in their field.
