I'm very confused by the new Points-based system: Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Guidance the Home Office just released https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/points-based-system-tier-1-entrepreneur I was under the impression that in order to qualify for ILR under the Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa we simply n...

Hello, I've spent £170,000 using funds I deposited into my business bank account, so I know that counts as an investment of £170k.

Hello, I'm asking this question in regards to the requirements for the Tier 1 Entrepreneur extension. In the three years previous you must have hired the equivalent of 2 full-time workers. I know contractors do not count. My question is, is anyone who works for me that I have issued a P11 for and ha...
