After securing the initial entry clearance

[t1entrepreneur]

Hello All,

I recently secured the T1 Entrepreneur Visa.

I have 2 questions that I am hoping to get clarity on:

1) Can the 200k be invested over the span of 3 years or does it need to be done immediately? Also can the investment be brought into the UK over a course of 3 years?

2) Can I invest 200k alongside partners to become say a 15 - 30% shareholder in the company? Are there any restrictions on how much of the company one needs to hold?

Guidance will be much appreciated.

Thank you!
