The Innovator Founder route is designed for overseas entrepreneurs seeking to establish a business in the UK. While there is no minimum investment requirement, applicants must be endorsed by an approved UK body, and their business idea must be new, viable, and scalable.

At One Pump Court, our Immigration Team has unrivalled expertise in Business Immigration. We are regularly instructed directly by companies and individuals, as well as by leading solicitors who specialise in this complex area. We offer commercially aware, risk-conscious, and practical advice tailored to each client’s specific needs.

The Innovator Founder category is particularly complex, and our team is equipped to support both individual applicants and solicitors to ensure the best chance of a successful application. Our services include:

• Advising and assisting with the application to an endorsing body
• Supporting the full Innovator Founder visa application process
• Challenging refusals, including:
  • Drafting grounds for Administrative Review
  • Assisting with Judicial Review applications
