Innovator Founder Visa
About Innovator Founder Visa
The Innovator Founder Visa is for experienced entrepreneurs who want to set up an innovative, viable and scalable business in the UK. Applicants need an endorsement from an approved endorsing body, a credible business plan, and evidence that the venture is genuinely new to the market. The route can lead to settlement where the business meets ongoing criteria. Selecting the right endorsing body, framing the proposition and meeting English language and maintenance requirements all need careful thought. RakLAW supports founders end-to-end so the application reflects the strength of the business behind it.
