Innovator Founder – Launch Your Big Idea in the UK

From Vision to Victory

Got a game-changing idea? Partnering with Lawyery Limited, an SRA-authorised law firm, we guide you through both crucial stages of the Innovator Founder journey: securing your endorsement and obtaining your visa.

Stage 1: Securing Your Endorsement

The first step is obtaining an endorsement from an approved body. We help you:

  • Develop a comprehensive business plan that meets endorsement criteria
  • Demonstrate your business idea's innovation, viability and scalability
  • Prepare financial projections and market analysis
  • Match you with the most suitable endorsing body for your sector
  • Navigate the endorsement application process

Key Endorsement Requirements:

  • ✓ Innovation: Your business must be genuinely innovative and original
  • ✓ Viability: Clear evidence of market research and growth potential
  • ✓ Scalability: Demonstrable potential for job creation and growth

Stage 2: Visa Application Process

Once endorsed, we guide you through the visa application, ensuring you meet all requirements:

  • English language requirement (B2 level)
  • Financial requirements (investment funds and maintenance funds)
  • Supporting document preparation
  • Application submission and monitoring

Key Visa Benefits:

  • ✓ 3-year visa duration
  • ✓ Bring family members to the UK
  • ✓ Path to settlement after 3 years
  • ✓ No additional employment restrictions

Post-Approval Support

Our support continues after your visa is approved:

  • Guidance on maintaining your endorsement
  • Business milestone tracking
  • Compliance monitoring
  • Extension and settlement planning

Investment Requirements:

You'll need at least £50,000 in investment funds to qualify for the Innovator Founder visa. This can come from any source, including your own funds, third-party investors, or a combination of both. We'll help you understand and document your funding sources appropriately.
