The Innovator Founder visa not only allows you to start a company in the UK, but also to have another job in the country.
You do not need to demonstrate investment capital to obtain an Innovator Founder visa. It is sufficient to show a feasible plan to start/move and further develop an innovative business in the UK.
The innovator visa assumes that the idea is innovative and not yet on the market. You and your partner can join forces and apply for the visa together on the same business plan. In the case of a separate application, you must have different ideas for promoting the startup. If one partner has already obtained a visa and registered a company in the UK, we will be happy to help you to obtain a sponsorship license and hire the second partner on a Skilled worker visa.
