few quick points

1) investment money and maintenance money in same account? I dont remember but somebody had a problem ??? (Let others comment on this point.. I am half asleep and cant remember..)

2) your adverts have your company name and ur name rite ?

3) your contract is original ? if not than have u signed each page ?

4) Business bank statement... Printout + attested by bank manager right ?

My visa was till Jan 2014 and I got my visa so its a much +ve thing as it clearly sends a signal that you are not just applying coz your visa is about to expire.

2 contract + payment in just 15 days... mmmm sounds a bit weird ... wann explain it here how you managed that ???
I am just thinking as a case worker so help me to help you.. else Ill reject your Visa !!!!!

I read that there were multiple cases where the application got rejected because the 50k funds and maintenance funds were held in the same account.

I even read someone reported that she got rejected even when maintenance fund was in a separate account. Because she submitted 2-3 accounts to put together 50k so UKBA assumed that the maintenance funds' statement was also counting towards 50k therefore 0 points for maintenance.

Apologies for my "High" statements last night. Yes Now I remember... people were getting rejected coz of this. Best way is to open a current/Savings account on your name and Tx 50K from your account to new account. This way ur old account will have >900 for 3 months and new account will have >50K

Mate ! your application is straight application, if you do every thing as suggested in Policy Guidelines than you are most likely to get visa within a month.
All the best !

Valid point to keep 50k and 900 in separate account. 50k dont need to be in account for any specific time but 900 for three months as you know.

Checklist sounds perfect enough but caseworker search out discrepancies while linking items together. Specially those items which are produced by yourself depending on your circumstances. For example Business plan, Contracts, advertisement etc. This stuff should be inline with each other and must satisfy level 4 and above policy. Invoice is not mandatory. Contract should have full details of contacts (As you observed, it is critical)

The services you provide should be level 4 and above and must relate to the job role you specified for yourself. Business plan should emphasize on same services and your potential to earn in that area for at least 3 years.

Mostly refusals are in above area with an exception of Company House report issued directly from Company house but not a printout from online account.

The things where you are confused (Like contracts in 15 days) could be OK for case worker. But where you feel OK and confident, might be confusion for case worker.

Job title Marketing director 1132 will be ok for business consultancy?

[entrepreneur123]

it depends on what services are shown on contract.

Job title Marketing director 1132 will be ok for business consultancy?

[sam321]

In contracts and business plan I have mentioned that My business consultancy will also be providing marketing services for the growth of businesses.

But my solicitor was confusing me that how can you become a marketing director in business consultancy, that is why I posted here. Plz clear me if I am wrong?
Thanks
