Today we have a very timely reminder just how important the subject of insurance is and if you are trying to run a business in the uk, there being two major industrial unit fires in short succession, causing millions of pounds worth of damage to the units and all the neighbouring ones – for which insurance claims will be rushing in.
Supposing you are from overseas and wish to stast up a business here in UK. There are matters of visa applications before any such venture can get off the ground. Firstly you need to establish your legal standing and visa requirement. You will almost defiitely need a visa that permits business activity in the UK. Here are some of the commoner ones.
Innovator founder visa – this is for the experienced business entreprneur with innovative viable and fully scalable ideas. Start up visa is for the very early stage entrepreneur with bright, viable ideas. A UK expansion worker visa would be needed for someone opening up a branch or subsidiary of an an existing overseas business. A skilled worker visa is for someone already employed in UK, wanting to transition into entrepreneurship. One very intrqguing sounding one is global talent visa for those individuals with proven record of innovation and another interesting one would be self-sponsorship which allows someone to establish a business presence and sponsor it themselves.
So plenty to get the teeth into there then!
