If you are an entrepreneur looking to establish a business in the UK for the first time, the UK Start-Up Visa offers an exciting opportunity to launch your venture. At HM & Co. Solicitors, our specialist immigration team is ready to guide you through the process, ensuring that your application is as strong and smooth as possible.
We provide a top-class service at a fixed fee, ensuring all our costs are transparent and helping you plan your legal budget with confidence.
The Start-Up Visa is specifically designed for individuals who:
✔ Are looking to start a business in the UK for the first time.
✔ May not yet have extensive business experience.
✔ Have an innovative, viable and scalable business idea.
Unlike the Innovator Visa, the Start-Up Visa is more accessible to new entrepreneurs without a requirement for substantial investment funds.
With the Start-Up Visa, you can:
Bring dependants (partner and children under 18) with you.
Ensure your dependants have access to free UK education.
Apply for settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain) after 5 years through a subsequent visa route.
At HM & Co. Solicitors, we offer comprehensive support, including:
A strong, well-prepared business plan is essential. Without an endorsement from a UK-approved endorsing body, a Start-Up Visa cannot be granted.
We assist by:
✔ Conducting a detailed consultation to understand your business idea.
✔ Drafting a professional business plan tailored to Home Office and endorsement standards.
✔ Advising on the best endorsing body for your business sector.
Thanks to our experience and relationships with UK endorsing bodies, we:
✔ Guide you through the endorsement process.
✔ Help you gather the necessary supporting documents.
✔ Ensure your application showcases the innovation, viability and scalability of your business.
From start to finish, our expert lawyers will:
✔ Prepare and submit your visa application.
✔ Advise on required evidence such as financial documents and English language qualifications.
✔ Manage correspondence with the Home Office and endorsing bodies.
We aim to remove the stress from the process so you can focus on what matters most: building your business in the UK.
✔ Fixed Fees – Transparent pricing, no hidden charges.
✔ Proven Track Record – Successful Start-Up Visa applications across diverse sectors.
✔ Business-Focused Approach – We understand entrepreneurs and tailor our support to your vision.
✔ Flexible Communication – Meetings available at our office, by telephone, or online video (Zoom, Teams, Skype).
