Compliance Services for Entrepreneurs & Investors while holding a visa

If you are holding a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) or a Tier 1 (Investor) visa we are offering to help with compliance with the Immigration Rules for the duration of the visa and extensions.  

For a yearly fee we help to comply with the Rules (and changes of the Rules). For example, during the 3 years of an initial Entrepreneur visa you have to register a business within specific time limit, create 2 jobs for certain types of people and for the duration of 12 months for each job.


An Investor has 3 months to invest the equivalent of GBP 750 000 in the ways specified in the Immigration Rules and it does not include property. The remaining amount of GBP 250 000 does not have to be invested but still has to be maintained in the permitted ways. Investments have to be maintained for the duration of the visa, which includes compensating the value if the market changes.


Our compliance service includes:


 -  Unlimited number of questions re the Immigration Rules (related to this visa category)  over the course of a year, so you would have someone to ask if you need an advice.  


- Reminder of the relevant deadlines, such as a deadline for registering a business, creating jobs or investing the funds, as applicable to your category. 


- Relevant checks for Entrepreneurs, such as whether a person you employ is eligible to be counted under the Entrepreneur visa scheme.


-  Guidance on investment for Entrepreneurs, such as “paying yourself a salary isn’t counted”.


- Advice for Investors on whether investment type meets the requirements of the Immigration Rules. This is advice on the type of an investment, if you require someone to arrange an investment for you, you would need an financial adviser for that (we can recommend the financial companies/banks who offer services to Investor visa holders but you are not obliged to use them).  Guidance on whether your investments continue to meet the requirements after the point of investment. For example, what to do if the stock market changes and value of your investments goes down.  


- Documents you needed to keep, with relation to this visa and which you may need at the next visa stage.


- Advice on what to do if your circumstances change. For example, if you wish to change from trading a sole trader to having a limited company.


- Other conditions, such as rights to work in the UK for you and dependants.
