I think ur the first one among recent applicant's who been called for interview at their place otherwise they come to interview at applicant's business place.
But don't worry its less stressful as compared to others who been interviewed at business place. Its gonna be kind of presentation you just have to tell them how you managing your business matters.
Good luck.

Thanks, let see what happens

I have been told in that email which I received for interview that bring your NI card with you & make sure you have your bio metrics before interview , do I need to give bio metrics again?

Hi, when in March did you applied ? do you have proper office or VO ? this is good to give skype interview as compare to face to face at your own premises I believe and I don't think so you have to give the biometric again just take the receipt, letter with you. Best of luck for the interview

i Have Applied on 20th march 2016, i Have proper office from the last 3 years , are you sure it would be skype interview ? do i need to take all docs ? employees docs & FPS , etc etc

I believe so, because one of my friend went for an interview at Birmingham in June and he told me that was a skype interview. He also took his solicitor with him just incase of any tricky questions, they didn't asked for any documents at the time of interview. But yes If you want to take latest docs of company with you that will be fine I believe.

Hi

I would suggest you take everything with you , even the documents you think are not important. I was asked to bring my application documents which i sent to HO, but i took every single thing with me, I asked the compliance office after the interview why do they need all the documents which i have already sent as part of my extension application and I was told that they need to establish if the business is genuine so they needed to make sure I have all the documents with me which i have sent as part of my application and even the one's which I did not like i posted my application back in march so i had to have my RTIs, salary slips for employees, time sheets, pension scheme documents, invoices in & out all that stuff with me.

The point is, they wont interview you again and again, this would be your only chance to explain them your application in person. dont leave anything to chance.

Hope that helps.

Just be well prepared.
I had interview in Feb 17.
Asked me about employees. CT figures. Profit figures. Where was 50k invested. How do I approach customer. Why do they specifically come to me and not others? About my customers and suppliers. They did there homework. Payment from banks. They check customer websites to check if they are original. What services do we provide. It's not Skype but it's there internal comms setup and looks like Skype. The lady who took my interview was very intimidating. Its actually annoying as you are giving answers and they are typing and you are repeating everything 4-5 times. Be prepared. And try to control yourself. Too the point answers. And you are sorted. Coming to the office is much easier as its your working environment and you can explain your business better as compared to someone on the other side of the screen who will be asking you a set of questions your caseworker asked and typing answers. Nothing to worry about. Just be prepared and confident and you are sorted. Good luck with your interview
