- 1. Did anyone get the visa approved WITHOUT submitting a business plan?
2. Did anyone get a refusal ONLY because they didn't submit a business plan and strictly NO other reason listed?
Regards.

If your answer is "YES" to any of the above questions, please share your experience here. If you have any other reasons for refusal, then please refrain from responding to this post. I want to keep this thread clear for the importance of business plan only. Thanks for understanding.

I am no expert but how you expect to clear genuine entrepreneur test without submitting a Business Plan.attahaas wrote:I know that there is NO requirement as per the guidance to submit a business plan along with your application for Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Visa.

Hello attahaas,
Yes some applications been approved without business plan, I Can not give you any particular reference but there were some in this forum back in 2013. BUT in theory a start up business need a good business plan, this is how Case worker judge that how focus you are for your business etc. I always prefer to attach a business plan though its not compulsory but It works positive for your case. Hope this is the answer of your question.
Regards

- the viability and credibility of the applicant’s business plan
The first point refers to the interview where they will asses the credibility of a submitted plan. And the second one shows that a plan may be required in case where the business is in it's infancy. They even say the associated list "may not apply to every application"EO consideration: credibility of the applicant and their funds
- A business plan and any market research (if the business is in its infancy) to assess how much consideration the applicant has put into starting up, these can be purchased as a package, so plans that appear general may not be useful.
Momi, hold your horses buddy. No one is blaming anyone here without due consideration. I am just going by what is already presented out there in news and by even some on this forum. And you can see a few visa curtailments and arrests because the so-called "Entrepreneurs" have misused/abused their visas. Whenever this happens, the UKBA tightens the noose around the guidance rules and we have all witnessed this in the very recent past.Momi wrote:It's common sense if you are doing a business then you need a plan. Don't blame others for that.
Just make sure that your business is trading properly. Business plan is a secondary thing.
Hope you will get your visa.
Here are few links that explain why the rules have been tightened to curb abuse or misuse:Momi wrote:Who is telling you all these news. I haven't seen them. Post the link please. There were couple of arrest because people were working on NI number. But they released on bail later.
Now let's come to your question.
After 11th July you need to present your case properly. If you registered your company on 11 July or later then don't apply.
There were few people who got visa without business plan but it happened in early 2013.
One of my friend got visa without business plan but he spent almost 1500-1800£ on advertisements only.
I personally spend 500£ on the time of application and still I'm advertising on new papers and google.
My advise is that you must write a business plan which you can explain in interview.
Best of luck.
You are an extremely rude and obnoxious person. If I knew this about you, I wouldn't have wasted my time on trying tó be helpful. 'Good luck with your life- with your attitude, you will need it.attahaas wrote:@Etrigan
I don't think you have read my post and responses in this thread clearly or understood it, otherwise you wouldn't be stating the obvious. Also, if you read (I wouldn't expect you to) any of my earlier posts you would realise you are preaching to the choir.
Your response is totally irrelevant to my query. It may applicable to someone who is looking for advice on precautions to write a business plan and I didn't ask for one. So, thanks but no thanks for your response.
And, congrats on your visa.
You are welcome to the show lilboots. And thanks.lilboots wrote:THE ATTAHAAS SHOW. Let us know how you get on with your application. I guess a couple of us will learn from it esp on the merits and de-merit of applying with a business plan post-july 11. Good luck mate
Wanderer, thanks for your response, but that's not what I am looking for. I clearly said in my posts that I know the importance of a business plan. I am not sure what's making everyone go haywire about the post. Everyone is jumping on the same senseless bandwagon.Wanderer wrote:I've been in business for many, many years and I wouldn't dream of approaching anyone without a proper business plan, it's just common sense.
Anything else is just amateurish....
