Embark Global has extensive experience supporting businesses with the Innovator Visa scheme which was launched in March 2019 to replace the Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa scheme.

This scheme enables foreign talent with investment funds to partner with UK entrepreneurs to develop innovative business ideas in the UK with a view to generating growth and employment opportunities.

About the Innovator Visa

The innovator visa targets “more experienced business people” who have at least £50,000 to invest in an innovative business which could be scaled up fairly rapidly to create UK employment and/or valuable Intellectual Property.

Foreign business talent can apply to start an innovative business in the UK either on their own or in partnership with UK nationals.

To qualify for an Innovator Visa, the business idea must be:

• New – you cannot join a business that is already trading
• Innovative – you must have an original business idea that is different from anything else on the market
• Viable, with potential for growth

Embark Global supports UK entrepreneurs in connecting with foreign business talent to realise new and exciting opportunities. If you have an innovative business idea that needs investment and would benefit from foreign talent, get in touch to discuss your future!
