Tier 1 Business Plans

Professional Tier 1 visa business plans...

Since 6 April 2015, all Tier 1 visa applications require a business plan. Here's how I can help...

Andrew Ludlam – The Business Plan Writer

For over a decade I've been helping business owners to plan and grow. One of the UK’s leading business plan writers, I have worked with many hundreds of business owners from start-ups, sole traders, limited companies, through to large corporations.

My business plan writing service also extends to preparing business plans for MBOs, MBIs, supporting international entrepreneurs applying for start up and innovator visas – as well as to simply help you plot a plan for success. In addition, pitch decks and investor summaries can also be prepared.

To ensure your requirements are met with the highest degree of expertise, I have also forged strong links with a range of strategic partners, including top-ranking financial and legal specialists.

I provide a completely bespoke one-to-one business plan writing service, with a proven track record of helping entrepreneurs create business plans for investment, growth and acquisition. To date I would conservatively estimate I have raised over £175million in total for clients.

Why Choose Me?

Truth is and what  really  makes me qualified to help, is that I do not only write business plans for a living.

Whilst this takes up much of my time, I am a multiple business owner with over 14 years’ experience in helping business owners plot and implement a path for growth – ‘resetting’ their business and taking it from where it is now, to where they want it to be.

I’m also an advisor and non-executive director to 6 and 7-figure operations, and the author of the Amazon 5-star rated book "Maverick Marketing: Essential Business-Building Strategies for Extraordinary Business Growth".

My service doesn’t just stop at business plan writing. With multi-sector knowledge borne from many years spent growing companies, I can also help you develop a custom-fitted business growth strategy, providing clarity, focus and direction.

Just as importantly, you are guaranteed my complete attention – your business plan will not be delegated down to a team member. Similarly, I do not take the information you supply, and throw back a business plan after a few weeks. No outsourcing and no ‘off the shelf’ templates, ever.

Search online for business plan writers and you’ll be spoilt for choice: both good and, well, not so good. However, if you’re prepared to invest in the process, I believe I offer a uniquely bespoke and reliable business plan writing service.

Tier 1 Visa Business Plans

To qualify for a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa, you must demonstrate you have access to at least £50,000 in investment funds from one or more of the following:

• a UK entrepreneurial seed funding competition recognised by the Department for International Trade (DIT);
• a UK government department making funds available for the setting up or expanding a UK business, and/or;
• a venture capital firm registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

You can also apply if you have already invested £50,000 in a UK business, however you must have invested the funds less than 12 months before you apply.

You can also apply for a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa if you have access to £200,000 in investment funds and you can demonstrate that the money is either:

• your personal wealth;
• has been made available to you by a ‘third party’, such as a spouse, partner or investor, or;
• in a joint account with your spouse or partner, but only if they are not applying for a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa

However, having access to these funds is not enough. The Home Office requires every applicant to pass the “genuine entrepreneur test” and demonstrate that not only have they clearly researched the market, their competitors and how the business will operate and run, but can evidence that their new business is a viable one.

Since the announcement of the Immigration Rule changes in 6 April 2015, a professionally written Tier 1 visa business plan is now compulsory for all initial applications.

“ I had a very strict deadline, and not only did you meet it, in fact, you completed the business plan sooner than agreed. It was incredibly detailed – the market analysis section was very thorough, and the marketing section contained promotional activities I haven’t even considered. I am extremely pleased with the business plan written for me, which will now give my new business direction and focus ” L.P – Tier 1 client wanted to open a sushi restaurant

Tier 1 Entrepreneur Business Plan

One of the most important factors when applying for a Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa is a quality business plan. The Home Office state that a comprehensive business plan could be the difference between a successful and unsuccessful application, and refusals are normally due to the inadequately composed business plan.

Your business plan needs to demonstrate that your business will contribute to the UK’s economy positively and would need to explain why, and how. Along with this you will need to prove that you expect your business to be successful in the UK. You will be asked to attend an Entrepreneur Visa interview during which your business plan will be discussed in detail. These are such things that should bear in mind when compiling your business plan. We can assist you with this process, the interview and with the content, application as well as liaising with the Home Office. Call us today on 020 7887 1916 or complete the online contact form. 

UK Immigration rules are complex and challenging which is why we work to our client's best interest and understand what is at stake.

Fill out the form and one of our immigration experts will be in touch.

A business plan is a document which outlines a business model, financial projections, goals and objectives, product marketing plan and business structure.

A business plan is necessary when you are applying for a Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa, as you need to demonstrate that your business is viable and lucrative.

A business plan is a way for you to discuss every aspect of your business in detail and, when it is being assessed by the Home Office, it will be used to show that you have an in depth understanding of your prospective business.

A business plan should give detailed information on every area of your business.

These areas include:

• An executive summary of the business;
• An overview of the business;
• An operations plan (including physical setup of the business);
• Market Analysis;
• A description of the products/services you will be selling;
• An outline of your sales and marketing plan;
• Analysis of competition (other similar brands of companies);
• Information on all roles and players involved in the business;
• Financial plan and projections.

We can place you in contact with a specialist business consultant, who can assist you with planning and writing a business plan which is of the highest-quality.

Your consultant will:

• Meet with you at a time that suits you;
• Advise you in person, over the phone, or via Skype;
• Work with you to ensure that all key areas are discussed in-depth;
• Ensure that your plan is organised and structured in a way which makes it navigable to the home office;
• Organise, collate, structure and polish your business plan.

With the help of your consultant, you will be fully equipped for your Entrepreneur Visa interview and your business plan will be in the best possible position to meet the standard demanded by the Home Office. This will maximise your chances of a successful outcome with your Entrepreneur Visa application.

Start-up and Innovator Visa Business Plans

Two visa options.

The UK is one of the most attractive places in the world for entrepreneurs to establish and grow their businesses. It has business-friendly regulations, a competitive tax environment, an educated and talented workforce, and renowned legal and financial systems. The Government discontinued the ‘Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa’ category as of 29th March 2019 and replaced it with two new categories – ‘Start-up Visa’ and ‘Innovator Visa.’ To qualify for either Visa, applicants must demonstrate that their business idea is a unique, innovative, viable, and scalable. They are also required to obtain an endorsement from an authorised body. We can develop a business plan that accurately articulates your ideas and vision for execution so you can get the approval you need.

Startup VISA

The Start-up Visa category is for ambitious entrepreneurs in the early stages of their business who are considered to have high potential and wish to establish a business in the UK for the first time.

• Applicants do not need any funds to invest in their business at this stage, and must not have previously set up a business in the UK.
• Successful applicants are granted leave for 2 years and can also bring their family members (spouses/partners and children under 18) to the UK.
• During the granted period of leave applicants will spend the majority of their time developing their businesses but can also take on other work outside of their businesses, to support themselves.
• At the end of 2 years, Startup visa holders can switch into the Innovator category to extend their stay and develop their businesses in the UK.

Innovator VISA

• Applicants will need a minimum £50,000 funding available to invest in their business.
• Successful Innovators are granted leave for 3 years at a time and can also bring their family members (spouses/partners and children under 18) to the UK.
• Innovators must work entirely on developing their business ventures and may not take on other employment outside their business.
• This includes anything which effectively amounts to employment, such as using their own business to hire out their labour to another employer.
• After 3 years, Innovators can apply to extend their stay for a further 3 years or to settle permanently in the UK.
• Each of these 3 stages (initial application, extension, settlement) requires endorsement from an endorsing body.

Endorsement

• Innovative: The applicant must prove that their idea is genuine, original, and unique, meets a new or existing market need, or creates a competitive advantage.
• Viable: The applicant must show they have the necessary skills, knowledge, experience, and market awareness to successfully run the applied-for business.
• Scalable: The applicant must present a structured business plan, including the business’s potential to create jobs and grow into national and international markets. In addition, they need to convince the endorser of their intentions, so they are “reasonably satisfied that the applicant will spend the majority of their working time in the UK on developing business ventures.”

How We Can Help

We have several immigration agents and solicitors we can recommend, and we can create the perfect business plan to present to the relevant endorsing body. We develop our expertly-written business plans using a three-step process:

You should have a professional, custom-tailored business plan showcasing your innovative idea for a new UK business to ensure the endorsing body considers your Visa application seriously. We don’t waste time and work swiftly to develop your business plan so you can present your application as quickly as possible. If your application is successful, you will gain entry into the United Kingdom quickly, so please make sure you have everything in order before applying. We have worked with a wide range of clients, including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Russia, India, China, Canada, and the United States.

If you are thinking about applying for a UK Start-up or Innovator Visa, please reach out to us. Our team is happy to help guide you through every step of the process.
