The Process

At GB Invest we will always tailor our services to your needs.

Below is a guide to a typical process:

  1. The first stage is to arrange an informal meeting with the GB Invest where we can discuss your requirements and answer any questions. This initial consultation is free of charge
  2. Together, we will agree the specific services you require and provide you with a clear process and fixed price quotation. Our fees start at £2,000 and are based on fixed fees for work carried out, charged on a ‘pay as you go’ basis, plus fees based on success
  3. We identify potential entrepreneurial activities in the UK or you shall provide us with your plans to do business in the UK
  4. Our in house lawyers shall meet with you and your family to discuss your immigration needs and discuss any particular requests on your part
  5. To help you pass the ‘genuine entrepreneur’ test of the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), we can help provide you with:
    • A professional business plan for your proposed investment
    • Market research on potential investments, based on your experience and preferences
    • Market research on potential acquisitions
  6. Our support will help ensure that your application for your initial three-year visa is successful
  7. Our next task is to help you meet the requirements of the visa. This will include providing advice and support to help you start a new business, or invest in an existing UK business
  8. During the three years of your initial visa, we will help you collect and prepare the complex set of documentary evidence you will need to ensure a smooth transition to the two-year extension visa. Our work at this vital stage will include:
    • tracking all the documentation for you and making sure your business complies with UKVI regulations
    • addressing any issues as they arise, to ensure that the process of obtaining your two-year extension visa – and subsequently your Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK – runs smoothly
