Many of the immigration routes to the UK require individuals demonstrate that they possess the necessary business acumen and genuine intention to set up a company in the UK.

We recognise the concerns over the complexity involved in preparing business-related documents that simultaneously meet Home Office standards and satisfy visa requirements.

Our team are dedicated to help ease the immigration process by providing tailored services to meet the needs of individuals seeking to establish new, or expand existing businesses as part of their immigration applications.

Visas that require a business plan as part of the immigration process are:

• Innovator visa
• Start-Up visa
• Representative of an Overseas Business (Sole Representative) visa

Innovator Visa 

The Innovator visa category is designed for individuals who have had prior business experience and are looking to establish a business in the UK. The applicant can be a sole founder of the business or part of an entrepreneurial team. 

Once successful, an applicant will receive a visa which is valid for no more than 3 years.

Please refer to our Innovator visa page here for more information and details.

Start-Up Visa

The Start-Up visa category is designed for individual who would be starting a new business for the first time in the UK. This visa is an expanded version of what was previously the Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) category.

Please refer to our Start-Up visa page here for more information and details.

Similar to the Innovator visa, applicants of the Start-Up visa are required to have an innovative, viable and scalable business idea supported by an endorsing body.

We recognise that individuals seeking to applying under this category will often have limited or no previous experience. Our team will sit down with you to discuss and discover your interests and passions, and any past experiences that may be relevant.

Once we have established your areas of expertise, we will work to formulate a business concept and business plan that is as best-suited and unique to you as possible.

Representative of an Overseas Business Visa

The representative of an overseas business visa is designed to encourage established, foreign companies to expand into the UK.

This visa is divided into two distinctive categories:

1. A sole representative of an overseas company planning to set up a UK branch or a wholly subsidiary of an overseas parent company; or
2. An employee of an overseas newspaper, news agency or broadcasting organisation posted on a long-term assignment to the UK.

The first category, also known in short as the Sole Representative visa, is the more common of the two.

Once successful, the representative will be granted a visa which is valid for 3 years.

Please refer to our Representative of an Overseas Business visa page here for more information and details.

How can Sincere Immigration help?

As the visa requires an established, foreign company to send an existing employee in a senior position to the UK for the purposes of extending operations to the country, a business plan outlining the parent company’s current operations and its proposed business activities in the UK is a must.

Our team will assist in drafting a business plan that clearly articulates the UK subsidiary’s intention to run the same type of business as the parent company, as per visa requirements,  whilst also providing an explanation as to how the subsidiary intends to customise daily operations to better suit the UK market. We can also provide assistance with refining and polishing any past business plans that the parent company may have and wish to submit as part of the application.

Working alongside the parent company and the sole representative, we will produce a business plan that compellingly showcases the company’s unique selling propositions and its prospective success in the UK.

With numerous UK visas requiring demonstration of business prowess and the production of a business plan, Sincere Immigration provides a one-stop shop for all your immigration needs.

Together with our immigration services, we are proud to be able to provide a more streamlined application process for prospective UK visa applicants.
