About this service

Our Start Up Services

The UK Start-up visa allows international entrepreneurs to come to the UK to start up a new business. Unlike the Innovator visa, the Start-up visa is specifically for those seeking to “establish a business in the UK for the first time”. The Start-up visa is the ideal business visa option for those who don’t have a huge amount of business experience, but want to begin working in the UK for their own company.

Clients benefit from a top class service at a fixed fee, meaning that all of our prices are transparent and upfront, helping your company budget accordingly for the legal fees.
