A CEO called our office this morning and asked:
“I don’t have £50k. Is the UK out of reach for me?”
No.
It’s not about the £50,000 anymore.
For a long time, that was the magic number. The price of entry for entrepreneurs wanting to build something in the UK.
Now, the UK government values something else more.
It’s about a real idea.
Innovative. Viable. Scalable.
And endorsed.
What it takes:
✅ A strong business plan (we build it to endorsing‑body standards)
✅ Endorsement letter from an approved body
✅ Proof of funds for yourself: £1,270 held for 28 days
✅ English at CEFR B2 (IELTS ≈ 5.5+ overall or equivalent)
✅ Valid passport + CV
✅ Civil docs (birth/marriage/divorce if relevant), police certificate
✅ TB test (if you’re from a listed country, incl. Pakistan)
✅ Visa application + fee (£1,191 outside UK) and IHS (£1,035/year)
The path:
👉 Idea check with Baig & Co → is it truly new, viable, scalable?
👉 We craft the Innovator Business Plan (innovation, market, model, traction, scale).
👉 Submit to an endorsing body → get your endorsement letter.
👉 File your visa → upload docs, pay fees.
👉 Biometrics → standard decision in ~3 weeks (outside the UK).
👉 Land in the UK → collect BRP, start building.
👉 Keep in touch with your endorsing body at 12, 24, 36 months (we help you stay compliant).
👉 Hit milestones → ILR after 3 years. Citizenship typically 12 months after ILR.
What this visa is not:
❌ A “pay‑to‑enter” route
❌ A copy‑paste plan with buzzwords
❌ A set‑and‑forget application
What you get:
✅ No fixed £50,000 requirement (show what your plan actually needs)
✅ Option to bring dependants (spouse/partner, children under 18)
✅ Ability to switch from other visas inside the UK
✅ End‑to‑end help: plan, endorsement, visa, compliance
If you believe your idea is ready for the UK stage, let's talk.
