Starting an online business

Post by square189 » Sat May 10, 2014 2:17 pm

Hello Everyone,

I have a Tier2 visa, and I would like to ask if it is possible to start an online business (Website)? The online business might not generate more than 5,000 pounds profit in the first year. This endeavour might even incur a net loss in the first 1 or 2 years. There won't be other employees, just me running the website. Can I do that? If yes, is there a threshold for the profit generated? I want to undertake this as a hobby for the time being.

Thank you, your advice is truly appreciated.

This thread is 30 months old and the member hasn't visited the forum since July 2014 :!:

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
