tier4 to entrepreneur, can i switch?

Post by easyindian » Fri Jun 13, 2014 2:43 pm

Hello guys, I'm on tier4 student visa right now and I've spent more than 4 years on student already, I haven't been able to get any degree or certificate in this time bcoz I didn't have enough funds to pay the College fees, I want to know if I can apply for entrepreneur through the 50,000 route, I did a bit of research here and if I'm not wrong I'll have to apply from my home country if I'm going for 200,000 route which I don't wanna do, please advice, I have till November on my student visa

You can only apply under 50k if you see a venture capital that can sponsor you(but those are very risky these days-see posts on that), apart from that am afraid you will need 200k. This is my personal opinion!

within uk you can only switch using 50k from venture capital(there are many fake vc that can give u letters etc for 5k to 10 k) so dont use fake. from out side uk u will have to use 200k.
