Starting a Business in the UK: Visa Options Explained (Innovator Founder, Self-Sponsorship & Expansion Worker)

Thinking about launching a business in the UK but unsure which visa route is right for you? In this video, I speak with my co-founder Denis Menabit (IAA-regulated UK immigration adviser) about the three main pathways entrepreneurs are using in 2025 to establish a UK presence:

✅ Innovator Founder Visa: for innovative, scalable startups
✅ Self-Sponsorship Route: build your own UK company and sponsor yourself
✅ Expansion Worker Visa: for overseas companies entering the UK market

We break down eligibility, timelines, costs, compliance, endorsement criteria, and when each option is most suitable — whether you’re a founder, existing business owner, or international entrepreneur expanding to the UK.

If you’re planning to relocate, secure investment, or build a UK-based startup, this session will give you a clear roadmap of the immigration + commercial steps needed for success.
