1. Immigration visa application and processing to the UK under business or entrepreneur visa scheme

The United Kingdom is now one of the best countries to emigrate to, because of its strong economy, political stability, legal/welfare system, education and above all family life. Thousands of businessmen emigrate from the Middle East, South Asia and Russia, due to inconsistency in country politics, economic & business policies, bureaucratic red tape, insecurity and last but not least family security.

This is probably the best time to emigrate to the UK, as the Government is interested to attract businessmen & entrepreneurs so that their economy benefits from new investment, which no doubt will create growth and jobs. Due to this policy “a window of opportunity” exists for businessman to benefit from the new immigration policies. UK Government immigration policies continuously change to reflect the needs of their economy.

However, this decade the UK Government has relaxed business visa’s to allow businessmen with as little as GBP 200,000 to emigrate, which leads to UK nationality. This policy will most probably be limited to a certain period and the policy itself or its conditions may change. Thus this is the most favourable time to apply under this category.

The above can be reflected from the recent statement made by the UK Immigration Minister Damian Green; "The UK remains open for business and we want those who have the most to offer to come and settle here. Entrepreneurs and investors can play a major part in our economic recovery, and I want to do everything I can to ensure that Britain remains an attractive destination for them. Last year we issued far too few visas to those who wish to set up a business or invest in the UK - I intend to change that."

We are a specialist team comprising of an accountant, business consultant and an immigration advisor/ lawyer registered by the Office of Immigration Service Commissioner and are able to offer services comprising of;
