If you tell them this, they'd refuse immediately. Your personal skill must show in the actual business practice. That is obviously why they want to see that you have a background link to the proposed business. You don't need to be an architect. But think...maybe you could find a title in the SOC list that still does exactly what you'd be doing. That's all u need, mate.Mila wrote:Paragraph 50 of Tier 1 Policy Guidance (PSW route) states:

(iv) are engaged in business activity, other than the work necessary to administer his business, in an occupation which appears on the list of occupations skilled to National Qualifications Framework level 4 and above, and
(v) have access to not less than £50,000
My question is - Do I have to actually provide services (for example, architecture) personally as well as running the business (administration, marketing, etc)? Because my plan was to hire architects to provide the service and I will be promoting the business, finding clients, negotiating office space etc...
(My degree is MBA, no architecture degree, thus the problem)
Ok, I understand your point. Are you saying that any job title from SOC (even if it was a Marketing Manager) benefiting inward (to my company only) and not outward (to clients) is not good enough for UKBA?RizKCB wrote:
My understanding is that they should be in-line to each other. Conceptually there is no existence of Level of Business. Every thing relates to Level of SOC Title. If we are able to define our SOC then it means our business is in the same Level. In-line means, Our SOC Title should be Actively Participating in Core Services to the Client BUT not only the driving force to the company. Ultimately being a director, we have to run or administrate the company. SOC is there for some reason.
An example
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2unu4p2 ... lVetVDrwoc
The refusal is based on the issue that SOC was level 6 'Data Processing Manager' and Business was to generate leads and sell to companies after assessment, level 4 'Assessor'. Assessors were mentioned to be hired/employed in the business plan.
Activities included to process collected data under certain industry standards and clients' requirement and developing information repository. In contract, services were mentioned to provide Leads' data to the client. But refused.
"If the business is software sales and your main activity is developing software, you may qualify for points;" In this example what do you suggest to choose as SOC Title; Sales Executive OR Software Developer?
