[@MubashirHussain-c7s]

The business needs to be endorsed first right? This is what I have been reading and this is what is an innovator visa. Or am I mixing things up here? "You’ll need a business idea that needs to be different from any others in the market. You also need to have an endorsing body(universities, trusts, governing bodies) to approve your business idea."

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Yes, you are getting confuse about the Sponsor Lic and Innovator Founder Visa, they are two different things. This video is for the Sponsor lic, its like you open a business (any business like takeaway, IT company or shop or Amazon Store online and then you apply Skilled Worker Visa and self sponsor yourself. Here is the guide : kzbin.info/www/bejne/goDNhHlvobFjfq8 And the one you mentioned is the innovator founder visa, here is the guide : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hajVp2iEjseNsKs

1) I am on a Skilled Worker visa in the UK. If my brother is the director of a company and someone else who is British is the authorized officer, can I apply for a self-sponsorship visa through that company? 2) Are there any tax, HMRC, or other responsibilities for the authorized officer? 3) Will the new salary threshold apply to me if I am already in the UK on the old Skilled Worker route?

[@mobilelegaluk]

Did you start your application? We can help for free.

[@mzdiva9274]

Hi, thanks for this informative video. My questions are; (1) How many years COS can be gotten when applying for one's skilled worker visa? Heard a self-sponsored visa is max of 2 years. (2) And is this visa type same as a Start-Up visa? (3) Must the salary threshold for the job code chosen be in the company's bank account statement? (4) What is the minimum income the company must be making monthly? Looking forward to your response.

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

1) The duration of a COS for a Skilled Worker Visa depends on the length of the job offer. If the job offer is for an indefinite period, the COS will typically be issued for 5 years. However, if the job offer is for a fixed term, the COS will be issued for the duration of the employment. 2) You can no longer apply for a Start-up visa; new name is UK INNOVATOR FOUNDER VISA kzbin.info/www/bejne/moCrd3qfatalnqc ; so this self sponsored visa is not a type of the visa, its just a loophole 3) The salary threshold for a job code is the minimum salary that the employer must pay the worker. This salary must be evidenced in the employer's bank account statement. The statement should show the employer has the funds to pay the worker's salary for the first 6 months of employment. 4) There is no specific minimum income requirement for the company. However, the company must be able to demonstrate that it has the financial resources to support the worker's employment. This can be shown through various means, such as bank statements, business plans, and financial projections. Watch this video and you will know everything : kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3XMhYN3qqpraZI And this video will tell you the 5 year cost of this route kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpmnp36Egsl5gNU

[@mzdiva9274]

@@UKknowledgeGuruThank you for the detailed response

[@ashahid8698]

Getting sponsor license is one part, what about meeting salary threshold since you are applied with your own company COS- Do you need to show salary getting into your own individual account, if yes what is the procedure or what is the exact process?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

So for example, you buy a takeaway, then the revenue generated by that takeaway will pay off your salary. The business has to be genuine, something which really makes money. If no income is coming in, then you will end up paying tax & NI from your own pocket (capital investment). If you watch this video, in which I have explained the total cost of this...you will get better idea. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpmnp36Egsl5gNU And still any confusion book my call back appointment and we can discuss ukknowledgeguru.zohobookings.eu/#/ukknowledgeguru

Wow this is uplifting. Have been looking for such content. Is it possible to switch from a skilled worker visa to get to self sponsor visa. I am really interested

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Yes, you can do that. However, consider why you'd want to take this route. Perhaps it's better to fulfill the five-year visa requirement and then apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). Of course, if you have a truly solid business idea with the potential to improve your financial situation, then starting a business might be an option. This route can be expensive if the business plan doesn't succeed, so weigh the risks and benefits carefully.

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

You're right, there are additional considerations when your company has a different Limited Company Name (LTD name) and a trading name (the name on the hygiene rating). You'll need to submit both your Certificate of Incorporation (proving your LTD company name) and a document linking your LTD company to the trading name with the hygiene rating. Notice of Business Activity (NOBA) from HMRC: This document usually shows both your LTD company name and your trading name. Letter from a reputable source: If you don't have a NOBA, a letter from your local authority or a bank statement showing both names would work.

Yes, you can have a business while on a Post-Study Work Visa (Graduate visa) in the UK. The Home Office allows this type of visa holder to engage in various work activities, including: Self-employment: You can be your own boss and run your own business. Starting a business: You can establish a new business venture in the UK. Work flexibility: No restrictions on work type, hours, or salary. Entrepreneurial opportunity: You can pursue your business goals while on this visa. Temporary visa: The Graduate visa is valid for two years (or three for PhD graduates). You'll need another visa option to stay longer. Tax implications: Income generated from your business will be subject to taxes. Consult an accountant for self-employment tax advice. Business registration: Depending on your business structure, registration with Companies House might be necessary. Alternative visa options (if business is your main focus): Innovator visa: Ideal for entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas. Resources: UK Government - Graduate visa: www.gov.uk/graduate-visa - This page clarifies you can "work in any job, skilled or unskilled".

I will try to make a guidance video on that topic, I think it will benefit everyone.

how much she need to pay tax monthly as skilled worker and director of the company ? please can you tell me

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

You'll pay income tax based on your annual income (For Example your salary is £38,000). The UK uses a tiered system: 0% on income up to £12,570 (personal allowance) 20% on income between £12,571 and £50,270 (basic rate) 40% on income above £50,270 (higher rate) National Insurance (NI): You'll also pay Class 1 NI on your earnings. 12% on income between £12,570 and £50,270 2% on income above £50,270 Hope that helps...

hey thanks for the video ! applying for the skilled worker visa doesnt require the salary scale of 37,500 pounds ? do you have to pay that every month from the company as a salary ? Thanks

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Yes, you have to pay. As per new rules, sponsor needs to inform Home Office if salary not paid for 4 weeks. Watch this video of the rules : kzbin.info/www/bejne/goDNhHlvobFjfq8

Hi, I have started my ltd in nov 23 and actually planning to apply for sponsor license in coming months, your videos have played a vital role in understanding the whole process, thank you! I actually also have a question, I am the only director in my company and I have a british friend who I can appoint as a director now, what is the recommended shares of company we should divide among each other can it be 50-50 also my banking is from Monzo is this bank approved by the hmrc?

[@ahmedkhalid8887]

Also sir, what should be minimum funds in bank account when applying for cos? I am eligible as a new entrant so can I keep 50% of my salary in the account (£16k) and should these funds remain in account until I get my skill worker visa? Waiting to hear back from you, highly appreciate the work you're doing, insha'Allah by Allah's will I will obtain a visa through this route and would be delighted to make a podcast with you :)

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Nothing is mentioned about Monzo on HMRC website, I will recommend go with High Street Branch accounts, as getting statement from middle of the date with address is hassle in Online Bank. For Share holding % is not important, as long as the authorising officer is British National. Do watch this Home Office 66 pages guidance to understand in detail. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naK6hpeZiMqFa9E ; It is recommended not to touch those funds until you get the visa to avoid confusion, as business funds are different from yours and you should not pay fees , IHS fees etc from those funds. Also take a look to this for documents guidance : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOQd6dsha6KZtk and this kzbin.info/www/bejne/goDNhHlvobFjfq8. Best of Luck; yes sure for the podcast as this will help others too.

Hi, My wife is coming to UK August 2024 through TCS Company can she switch the job and how is the job market . she works for UK Broadband project . system analyst . and hope i can come as a dependent of her. and are they any jobs for me that i can work privately and how much can i earn there approximately. please reply....!

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

TCS is good company, so why wana switch now ? Is it not better wait until, just before they ask you to go back and switch after taking 2-3 yrs of UK experience. She is in the right direction, her field still have 4-5 yrs of work and plenty of opportunities, then AI will take over. Yes, you can come as dependent but job for you, all depends how your profile is like. There is always a room for hard working people and you will make your way.

[@ShyamR-ve3hu]

Hi, actually her contract is for 2years in UK through TCS. want to settle in UK itself . so she has to switch the company. any suggestion from your end please let me.

Switch after a year, it will be easy to get UK Visa Sponsor job from competitors if she got at least 1 year UK experience

I am applying from dubai, is it mandatory to deposit the money in uk company bank accounts ?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Yes, I think there is some confusion at your end. You will apply sponsor lic based on the company in the UK, so funds and everything has to be from UK. If you got business in Dubai and you want to expand business in UK then you should consider UK Expansion Worker Visa. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iquXfWlrd6lniNE

@@UKknowledgeGuru but I don’t want to start the business until I am in UK, so is it okay if I show my dubai bank statements?

Yes, in UK expansion worker visa, you will start business when you are in the UK. And yes you can use Dubai Statement. Do watch my guidance video without forwarding so you know what is the min requirement for that visa
