Frequently Asked

Answers founders ask us most.

If you're an experienced entrepreneur with a specific business idea you want to launch in the UK, the Innovator Founder Visa is your route. If you're a recognised or emerging leader in academia, research, digital technology, or the arts — even without a business plan — the Global Talent Visa may fit better. We assess every applicant honestly and recommend the right path during your free consultation.
No — neither the Innovator Founder nor the Global Talent visa requires employer sponsorship or a job offer. Both routes give you full freedom to run your own business, freelance, or take employment with any UK organisation, without any minimum salary threshold.
Both routes lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in just 3 years — except Global Talent under the "Exceptional Promise" category, which requires 5 years. British citizenship is available 12 months after ILR, giving most applicants a path to a UK passport within 4 years total.
Yes. Both visas allow your partner (married, civil partner, or unmarried partner of 2+ years) and any children under 18 to join you as dependants — with full work and study rights from day one. The only restriction is on working as a professional sportsperson or coach. Dependants follow the same path to ILR and citizenship.
Our consultancy fees are quoted transparently and confirmed in writing before any work begins. We charge a single, fixed fee per case — no hidden extras, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Government fees (endorsement body fees, application fees, Immigration Health Surcharge) are separate and paid by you directly to the relevant authority.
We specialise in only two visa categories — making us genuine experts rather than generalists. Every case receives direct senior-consultant attention from start to finish. Our 100% success rate reflects that focus. Larger firms juggle hundreds of routes; we devote ourselves to mastering yours.
