On a work permit want to do business!

[gaurav]

I am on a work permit from last three and half years working in a hotel as a front office supervisor but I am really keen on starting up my own restaurant/takeaway .I would like to know is there a way I can convert my visa to be eligible to run a business. Unfortunately I am not eligible for HSMP ! The initial investment in the business is around 30 k.
If any body can give me any suggestions on this I would be grateful !

Apart from HSMP there are'nt many options to start your own business, but I'd suggest you wait for another year and half and become ILR holder , hope this helps
