UK Innovator Founder Visa
I am the UK's #1 & first independent business consultant for international entrepreneurs considering the Innovator Founder Visa
I moved to the UK alone on a student visa in pursuit of further education when I was 17 years old.
After completing my master’s degree in international law, I was endorsed by Newcastle University for two business visas (formerly the Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur Visa replaced by the current Start-up Visa). I obtained several entrepreneur visas until receiving my Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)/ Settlement in the UK.
Plus, I was accepted onto & completed the NatWest Entrepreneur accelerator program. This was a former/legacy endorser for Startup and Innovator visas.
To summarise: I know and have been through the journey…!
UK Innovator Founder Visa | About
The UK’s Innovator Founder Visa is an immigration pathway for entrepreneurs who wish to set up a business in the UK.
Applicants must secure an endorsement from one of the selected Endorsing Bodies appointed by the UK Home Office, as well as meet other eligibility requirements.

Consulting & Coaching Packages
Starting a business is hard. Starting one whilst navigating visas is not for the faint-hearted.
The process of getting an Innovator Founder visa endorsement can be unclear, risky, stressful & expensive.
My role is to simplify this by helping you create the strongest possible business proposal, not just for your endorsement but to ensure your business is viable.
Innovator Founder Visa Consultation
Disclaimer | Please note that I am not an immigration advisor or solicitor. My business services focus on obtaining your endorsement through an evaluation of your business idea/proposal.
This would be a business service regardless of your immigration intentions (and the best one that you will find in this market!)
I also offer post-visa business support in areas such as strategy and marketing.
I do not, nor is any other entity able to, guarantee an endorsement and this is ultimately up to the Endorsing Bodies (avoid such promises/offers as they are false & fraudulent).
