Have you read the guidance yet?MSKF wrote:Hello,
I plan on applying for the Entrepreneur visa. I have over £200K which is disposable to the UK. I have the following questions:
- If I start a business there, do I have to work for the business? In other words, would they let me just be the owner and hire people to run the business?
- What if I buy a franchise like BurgerKing/KFC/Subway? Is that allowed? Or do I have to make up my own business?
Permission to stay under this route will be subject to the following conditions:
a. no recourse to public funds (which means you will not be able to claim most
benefits paid by the state);
b. registration with the police, if this is required by paragraph 326 of the Immigration
Rules;
c. no employment other than working for the business or businesses that you have
established, joined or taken over but working for such business(es) does not include
any work you do which is effectively employment with another business (for more
details– see Annex A, A41), and
d. no employment as a professional sportsperson (including as a sports coach).
e. study subject to the condition below.
According to Appendix 6, the Masters/PhD options already have topics that I am interested in. So now what? Can I be doing my degree and instead of doing odd jobs, just oversee my business operations from time to time? They didn't even say that I can only study part-time. So clearly, they seem like they are fine with me working very little to say the least.You are permitted to study, but you will need to obtain an Academic Technology Approval Scheme
(ATAS) certificate for the course/research and present it to your education institution before you start
your study if:
(a) you are over age 18 (or will be over 18 by the time your leave expires); and
(b) your course is one of the following:
(i) a Doctorate or Masters degree by research in one of the disciplines listed in paragraph 1 of
Appendix 6 of the Immigration Rules, or
(ii) a taught Masters degree or other postgraduate qualification in one of the disciplines listed in
paragraph 2 of Appendix 6 of the Immigration Rules, or
(iii) a period of study or research in excess of 6 months in one of the disciplines listed in paragraphs
1 or 2 of Appendix 6 of the Immigration Rules at an institution of higher education where this forms
part of an overseas postgraduate qualification.

My plan is to start with one franchise and eventually make the business about buying franchises. A bit relieved to know that at least until the policy guidance adopts the things in the MAC report, I don't have to be worried.Businesses with limitted growth potential: Franchises/corner shops/other activity with minimal economic impacts beyond providing an income for the migrant entrepreneur.
