Hello everyone, I am thinking of relocating to the UK to start my own business with a self-sponsored
visa. Has anyone heard of third party weblink removed by Moderator They say they can assist in this matter?

The only routes are a skilled worker visa, innovator or start up visa and each has their own requirments.

There is no such easy/simple route as simply self sponsoring yourself for a visa.

I suspect that the website and user may be referring to the innovator or start up visa.

The link the user posted makes no mention of a specific visa route and only talks about self sponsored visa. I looked through the site to understand.

Even innovator and start up is not self sponsored as requires endorsement.

There are hundreds of businesses offering all sorts of promises on the internet about immigration routes into the UK.
Be very wary of anything that sounds too good to be true, invariably it will lead to nothing more than great expense for very little in return.

I have actually connected with xxxxxxxxxxxx , I believe self-sponsored visas are
indeed a valid option in the UK. The process is lengthy and costs a lot but they seemed genuine and
helpful to me, didn’t try to push or sell me anything, in fact they tried to explain all issues to me. I
spoke with someone called Dean there. It might be worth contacting the company directly to get
more details.

Not denying investment and innovation visa routes. Just be very careful as it can be a very expensive way to gain nothing.
If you believe it is a respectable and reliable business by all means go ahead. There a few good companies but many more bad ones.
Do your due diligence and by wary.

Out of interest what type of business is it?
