It is not mandatory to have a solicitor, but my advice is do get one. A good solicitor is priceless.
Entrepreneur visa is a complex application and unless you are a practicing immigration solicitor yourself you wouldn't know all the nuances and details.
Besides having a solicitor gives additional comfort and credibility to your application.
