What is the secret to getting endorsed for a startup visa or innovative visa.
That's the subject of this livestream just yesterday I was helping some
clients present to endorsing bodies and I have endorsements or are getting
endorsements imminently for half a dozen clients and there's many more to come if
you want help with securing an endorsement for a startup visa or
innovative visa and with the whole process I'd be very happy to assist you
with advising you on the requirements and walking you through the process so
the key points I want to make here and before I tell you the secret I just want
to get down to basics is you have got to in your business be identifying the
problem and the solution. Now the problem here will be specific to the UK market
if you're moving your business here or setting up a new business here you need
to be able to identify the problem that you're solving with your business in
other words the problem that your product or service solves. Now many
people will be doing SWOT analyses in their business plans so strengths
weaknesses opportunities threats to be frank I often think that that leads to
confusions it can't be it can't be helpful but the bottom line is what is
the problem that your business is is proposing to solve and everything really
flows from that if you think about it so on the problem site that is the market
who is experiencing this problem how did it arise how does it relate if this is
the case to digital or technology and on the solution side again everything flows
from that so what is your solution do you have a minimum viable product or
service also what are the competition do you have so what other products are
solving that problem how does your product or service solve that problem
better and you need to be thinking about this. Now in terms of example businesses
I've produced some other videos on this if you want to check out check those out
to do and as I say you can just message me on whatsapp or email me the details
are below for that and I'd be happy to assist
I'm a uk-based lawyer and I have several years experience in this and head up a
business immigration team in London in the leading top fifty door phone so I'm
going to come to the secret now which is this what value are you bringing to the
local community or and what employment are you going to be creating. Now I'm not
talking here about their requirements for settlement I have very clear ideas
on how you should go about the criteria for settlement which or which to you
should pick out of the list what I'm talking about here is the broader vision
that the endorsing body has so I'm working with universities with
incubators with accelerators and all of them really have some broader social
purpose so in the case of the universities they're looking out for the
interests of their students and graduates and very recent alumni and
they want to help them get into the workplace or make a success of their
business idea everything is driven from that the incubators most of them are
built around a broader philosophy of helping a particular area or helping
develop a particular sector so your business plan really shouldn't be
generic it should be pitched to your audience and if your audience has a
certain philosophy set of values and social purpose then you need to take
that into account in your pitch to them the other aspect of this and the other
aspect of this secret if you like the special sauce that you need to have in
your business plan is your contribution to the ecosystem. Now by that I don't
mean the environment I'm talking about the ecosystem within the university
incubator or accelerator again in all or in all cases they have an ecosystem
and that draws entrepreneurs in to you to use their services obviously this is
all you know run on on a commercial basis the universities are looking to
attract international students and they want you know success stories out of
that for example. Now the question therefore is how can you or broader
contribution can you make and that could assist of different things that could
consist of showing how in your past you haven't just done the minimum in your
endeavors and haven't just looked after your own interest that you have made
that broader contribution to the community ecosystems workplaces in which
you've been universities in which you've studied so I think if your business plan
reflects those elements you certainly stand a much better prospects of being
endorsed I'm going to be doing some case studies based on my successful
applicants I have gotten endorsements from definite endorsing bodies and look
out for those if you want to subscribe to this channel feel free to do so again
