The Innovator Founder visa is a UK immigration route for experienced entrepreneurs who want to set up or run an innovative, viable, and scalable business in the UK. It's designed for founders with a genuine, original business idea that is different from anything already in the market. To be eligible, you must secure an endorsement from an approved endorsing body before applying.
The Scale-up visa is aimed at individuals who have a confirmed job offer from a UK scale-up company at a senior level. Unlike the Innovator Founder visa, which requires an endorsement for a new business idea, the Scale-up visa is employer-sponsored and suited to high-skilled professionals joining a fast-growing UK business. Centuro Global can support applications for both routes.
To obtain an endorsement, you'll need to present your business idea to an approved endorsing body, who will assess it against three criteria: whether it is innovative, viable, and scalable. You'll typically need to provide a detailed business plan, financial projections, and evidence of your relevant experience. Our team will help you prepare all of this to give you the best chance of success.
Timelines vary depending on the endorsing body, but the assessment process typically takes several weeks once your application is submitted. Centuro Global works with you upfront to ensure your business plan and supporting documents are as strong as possible, reducing the risk of delays or rejection.
Yes. If your endorsement application has been unsuccessful, our experts can review your previous submission, identify the areas that need strengthening, and help you reapply with a more compelling business plan and supporting evidence.
