Before 13-12-12 It was possible to get visa by opening retail business etc but after this date you cannot play with this rule anymore. I know many friends who got visa, opening a retail business using title of Marketing Manager NQF6 etc but new rules after 13-12-12 clearly states that you cannot provide NQF4 or above level service for your own business, as it will account as admining your own business...So service should be for other businesses.
"You must show that you have been working in an occupation which appears on the list of
occupations skilled to National Qualifications Framework level 4 or above, as stated in the
Codes of Practice on our website. “Working” in this context means that the
core service your
business provides to its customers or clients involves the business delivering a service in an
occupation at this level. It excludes any work involved in administration, marketing or website"
functions for the business.

Thinking about opening a food franchise and i can be the business manager or any other tittle bcoz technically i will be looking after my business
