Innovator Founder Visa

The Innovator Founder Visa (formerly the Innovator Visa) is a new visa targeted at start-up entrepreneurs and experienced business people who wish to establish a business in the UK. 

The endorsing bodies have dictated strict criteria for this visa, which state your business must be innovative, viable, and scalable. Applicants need not have any specific level of funds to invest in their proposed business, but a comprehensive and detailed business plan which meets all relevant criteria must be submitted and approved by an endorsing body.
