*Endorsing bodies include business incubators, accelerators and development organizations that support entrepreneurs in getting their business up and running. Each endorsing body has its own criteria, but the general requirements used to assess an applicant’s business idea are:
Once approved, the endorsing body will issue an endorsement letter that the applicant will use to support their visa application.
The applicant will touch base with the business founders at 6, 12 and 24 months to ensure satisfactory progress and issue further endorsements for extension and settlement applications.
Even though the required minimum investment for the Innovator Visa is £50,000, our experience demonstrates that an investment of £200K - £300K is often more successful.
This level of investment opens the door to partnering with credible and promising startups in the UK that have significantly higher chances of expansion and success.
The businesses we work with are all pre-endorsed by a government-authorized endorsing body because they are innovative, viable and scalable. This is determined by stringent criteria and very few businesses make the cut. Pre-endorsement makes the application process faster.
