Westkin Associates were fantastic at every step of the Self-sponsored business visa. They introduced me to the right people to help set up my UK business and help in obtaining the key documents. They supported me in the Immigration process with exceptional planning and care. I got my 5 year visa in record time and I came to the UK with my wife and children to run my marketing business. – Bill Chaplin

Further detail

Detailed information about our Self-Sponsored Business Service

Embarking on the journey toward a UK Self-Sponsored Business visa begins with a crucial first step: nominating a UK company or business entity. This can either be an existing company you've joined or a fresh venture you've initiated.

If you're in need of assistance in setting up a new company, we've got you covered. We can facilitate the establishment of a new company, ensuring it meets all necessary criteria. Your company will require at least one resident director or employee, who can be a family member and doesn't necessitate any specific qualifications.

Following company setup, essential documents such as a bank account, payroll registration, and liability insurance need to be obtained. Once these prerequisites are fulfilled, we'll proceed to apply for your company to obtain a visa sponsor license.

Upon the successful acquisition of the license, your company can extend an offer for you to assume a pivotal role, such as CEO or another senior position, to oversee your business operations. A Certificate of Sponsorship issued by the UK Government solidifies your company's ability to sponsor you.

Subsequently, you'll apply for your visa, with options available for durations of up to 6 years, tailored to your preference. With your visa secured, your company gains the capacity to sponsor additional staff, directors, or investors, whether they're associated with overseas branches or entirely new recruits.
