Innovator Founder Visa Registration

Innovator Founder Visa Registration in the United Kingdom: comprehensive support for your start-up

Applying for an Innovator Founder Visa in the United Kingdom is a key step for foreign entrepreneurs who want to implement an innovative business project in the United Kingdom. 

Our team of lawyers provides full legal support at every stage of the procedure — from developing a business idea to submitting documents and obtaining a visa. We work with applicants from all over the world, including Ukraine, and have experience in supporting start-ups in various fields: IT, environmental technologies, biotechnologies, and others.

Requirements for the Innovator Founder Visa and how to meet them

To obtain an Innovator Founder Visa, the applicant must meet several criteria:

1. have an innovative, viable and scalable business idea;
2. not be an employee;
3. demonstrate knowledge of English (at least B2);
4. prove that they have sufficient funds to stay in the United Kingdom.

The key point is to obtain an Endorsement Letter from an approved body confirming that your business is innovative. We help you prepare a business plan in accordance with the requirements of the certification bodies and organise communication with accredited endorsers.

Preparing a business plan and obtaining an Endorsement Letter

A business plan for an Innovator Founder Visa is not a formality, but one of the most important documents in your dossier. It must meet the criteria of innovation, viability and scalability.

Our legal team works with you to create a business plan that meets the standards of approved endorsers, taking into account the specifics of the British market. We not only edit and structure documents, but also accompany you in preparing for an interview with representatives of the endorser.
