My question to the experts on this forum is: If i am planning to purchase an existing running business for sale in UK e.g. someone wants to sell it to get retired etc. If this business already has 2 jobs, do I need to still create 2 more jobs meaning a total of 4 jobs? Or will the first 2 jobs who ...

I even sent them an email to confirm this. People are just assuming , policy guidance doesnt restrict for extension applicants to invest below level 4 business. It does categorically highlights for initial applicants not for extension applicants It would be good for all of us if you can post your e...

Fair enough but I am looking for answer of being employed in my own 2nd business. Please check my example in previous post above and then tell what do you think about it?

Thanks for your replies.

You are limited to be being employed by that entity but you can be the owner and director of any other entities that are not connected to your visa, just not a P...

You can be a director of the other business but you can't be an employee. Could you please clarify why someone cannot be an employee of his own other business? If one maintains his main graduate level business then his other business can be at lower level as you said earlier. Now if you can be empl...

Agreed with Darvesh reply. regards Rehan let me give you an example and then tell me what do you think if am I right or wrong. First of all we need to know that can we do a business at non graduate level or not and we know that we cannot do this but if one maintains his main graduate level business...

Along with being a director you must also invest money in your own name either by shares capital or director's loan which should be shown in your company accounts as well in order to obtain extension.
