Key benefits of taking the self-sponsorship route:
The UK is tightening immigration rules, increasing sponsor licence scrutiny, and making employer sponsorship less predictable.
But if you’re already running a UK business, this climate actually works in your favour.
✅ The government supports genuine entrepreneurs who create jobs and contribute to the economy
✅ Self-Sponsorship lets you legally stay and grow in the UK — without relying on others
✅ Delaying could mean facing stricter requirements later
With your own business and the right legal support, now is the window to secure your Skilled Worker visa and build toward permanent residency — before rules change again.
Many entrepreneurs believe they can navigate the self-sponsorship process independently to save on costs. However, the reality is that the UK Home Office maintains stringent requirements, and even minor errors can lead to application refusals.
Common reasons for rejection include:
Incomplete or inaccurate documentation: Missing essential documents or providing incorrect information can result in immediate refusal.
Failure to demonstrate a genuine vacancy: The Home Office requires clear evidence that the job role is legitimate and not created solely for visa purposes.
Inadequate financial evidence: Applicants must show that the business can sustain the role financially, without relying on personal investments to cover salaries.
Non-compliance with sponsor duties: Misunderstanding or neglecting sponsor responsibilities can jeopardize both the visa and the sponsor licence.
Attempting the process without professional assistance not only increases the risk of refusal but can also impact your credibility and future immigration prospects.
In short – your golden ticket to UK residency! This innovative pathway allows you to establish your own UK company, obtain a sponsor licence, and then sponsor yourself for a Skilled Worker visa. It's entrepreneurship and immigration – beautifully and effectively combined.
Not at all! While we love innovation, this route is open to a wide range of businesses. From consultancy to retail, all you’ll need is a solid plan combined with the skills to back it up.
Typically, from company setup to holding a visa in hand, you're looking at 3 - 6 months. But remember, good things come to those who wait prepare – we’re here to help with that.
Absolutely! Your spouse/partner and children under 18 can join you on this exciting journey. A ‘Sunday Roast’ in London, anyone?
You'll need to prove your English skills at CEFR level B1 or higher. But don't worry – if you're reading this, you won’t have to worry about that.
Unlike some visa routes, there's no set minimum. However, you'll need sufficient funds to establish and run your business effectively. We typically see investments ranging from £25,000 upwards.
As long as your business is actively trading and you're meeting your visa conditions, you're on track. We're here to help you navigate any bumps in the road.
Yes, you can! Whether you're in Mumbai or Manhattan, we can guide you through the process and have done so successfully for thousands before you.
After 5 years on this route, you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). From there, British citizenship is just around the corner!
With over 5,000 successful applications done and a track record of guiding 120+ business owners to UK residency in just two years, we're not just experts – we're your dedicated partners in success.
