There is a myth around that one of the most difficult things in the UK immigration is getting a sponsor license for your new business startup.
But, what if I tell you about this startup:
- Company was formed less than 3 months back.
- Had no employees prior to applying for a sponsor license.
- Licence approved in just 48 hours.
- Single director company.
- It can be considered as a case of self sponsorship.
You might think that I am lying, but this is true and one of our clients got their sponsor license in just 48 hours.
What is self Sponsorship:
The Self Sponsorship method may be the best approach to work and live in The UK if you want to start a business there or extend your present foreign operation to The UK. It is crucial to remember that there isn’t a real “Self Sponsorship Visa,” it is only a way to enter The UK under the Skilled Worker Visa category.
The Self Sponsorship Visa UK will enable you to establish a UK company that will sponsor your entry and employment in The UK (with the assistance of a UK resident Director). You can own shares in the business and there is no minimum investment requirement.
One of the most significant benefits of self-sponsorship is that it enables business owners to run and manage their companies in The United Kingdom without worrying about their visas being revoked.
This visa option is best for seasoned business people or someone who has researched the UK market and seen a chance to launch a new company here. In order for the Company to sponsor you, you must first get a sponsor license.
