Tier 1 Entrepreneur Business Plan
Get in touch with our immigration lawyers to receive advice on writing a business plan that meets the requirements for the UK Investor Visa.
Call us on +1 844 290 6312 for immediate help & assistance with your situation. We’re here to help you in person, via the phone or online.
Please Note: You can no longer apply for a new Tier 1 (Investor) visa. Reach out to us for advice on which alternative visa is most suitable.
An important part of making a Innovator Visa application is a high-quality business plan. According to recent figures, 1/3 of all Entrepreneur Visa refusals are due to a poor business plan. Writing a business plan properly may be the deciding factor in whether you can come to the UK as an entrepreneur or not.
To apply for a Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa, you will need a business plan which demonstrates how your business benefits the British economy. You need to know your business plan inside-out as this will be scrutinized in your Entrepreneur Visa interview.

Frequently Asked Questions
A business plan is vital to your Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa application. It is a research document which describes your:
- business model
- financial forecasts
- professional objectives
- business structure
This document is often written and collated by industry experts but, since you will be questioned on it during your interview, you must know it intimately.
A good business plan may be the difference between an accepted and a rejected Tier 1 application. It will show that you have carefully researched your market and that you have genuine intentions as a UK businessperson.
Your business plan should provide details on every area of your business.
This will include:
- An executive summary of the business;
- A business overview;
- Operations plans (including the physical setup of your business);
- Market analysis;
- A description of what you will be selling (goods or services);
- Your sales and marketing plans;
- Analysis of your competitors (similar companies/general UK market);
- Information on all the roles involved in the business;
- Your financial plan and projections.
