Before applying for a UK Business Visa, a well-prepared Business Plan is essential. At LawSentis, our services are designed to give you everything needed for a successful start and sustainable growth of your business in the United Kingdom. We combine market knowledge, legal compliance, and financial modelling to produce professional business plans that strengthen your immigration application and set a foundation for long-term success.
For the Innovator Founder visa route, a comprehensive business plan is mandatory because your entire proposal must first be formally endorsed by an authorised endorsing body. This plan must clearly evidence that your business idea meets the required criteria of Innovation, Viability, and Scalability to secure the necessary endorsement letter before you can apply to the Home Office.
A detailed business plan is essential for the Self-Sponsorship visa, which involves establishing a UK company and then sponsoring yourself under the Skilled Worker visa framework. The plan serves to validate the genuine need for your highly-skilled role within the company and demonstrates the financial viability and operational structure of the business, ensuring it meets all sponsorship compliance duties.
When submitting Sponsor Licence applications to the Home Office, a professionally structured business plan is needed to demonstrate genuine business activity and intent. The Home Office requires assurance that the UK entity is an operating or credible start-up business with the resources and structure necessary to meet its duties as a sponsor, validating the need to employ migrant workers.
There are several ways to apply depending on whether you are inside or outside the UK:
The business proposal must strictly and uncompromisingly meet all published administrative and personal requirements set forth by the Home Office and the chosen Endorsing Body. Failure to comply with any rule will lead to rejection.
Crucially, the business idea itself must pass the IVS test: it must demonstrate Innovation (be genuinely new and original), Scalability (show potential for rapid national and international growth), and Viability (present a realistic, sustainable path to profitability). The application must provide robust evidence for all three.
Approval of the plan is necessary before your visa application can proceed.
