Definitely you can, given you haven't broken any rules/stay permission at past. Get an immigration solicitor on board and get started.

Regarding your appeal process's outcome, I guess you need to prepare your statement accordingly, where you got to sell your commitment to court that you'll carry on your business with your partner as proposed.

well.. when an appeal is already running deprives you on making new application whether it is for ILR or any other application.

if you chose to withdraw in appeal would make you over stayer as countable time in this regard is the time when you received your application decision(refusal).

you can have completion of 10 years lawfully as an add on to appeal grounds where Judges normally ask HO to reconsider the decision based up on the 10 years provision. this should benefit your team member(if your team member getting heard same time) as well.

you(team) should focus on winning this appeal as you do not have any other options.
