The UK Innovator Founder Visa
Start your business in the UK with the Innovator Founder Visa.
The UK Innovator Founder Visa is designed for foreign entrepreneurs and business owners looking to start a business in the UK. The Innovator Founder Visa started in April 2023 and it effectively replaced the Start up visa. It is now the primary visa category for foreign entrepreneurs looking to set up a business in the UK.
Applicants do not need to have any specific level of funds to invest in their proposed business, but the business idea must be innovative, viable, scalable, and supported by a business plan, which has been approved by an endorsing body.
