The Innovator visa is the replacement for the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) category. It is for the more experienced, proven business entrepreneur who wishes to establish a viable business in the UK with real prospects of growth.
This is absolutely most vital to the success of your application. It is there to make sure you will bring benefits to the UK economy.

We understand what they are looking for and we are rare in the immigration field in having that specialised knowledge.
