Webinar – Qualifying for UK residency by establishing or investing in an active business


The UK is a much sought-after destination for foreign investors seeking to establish residency through one of its official immigration programmes.

Establishing residency in the UK by establishing a company provides investors with access to a mature, high-spending consumer market, an open, liberal economy, world-class talent and a business-friendly regulatory environment.

The UK’s language, legal system, funding environment, time zone and lack of red tape helps make the UK one of the easiest markets to set-up, scale and grow a business.

As well as world leading education and healthcare, the UK offers a highly attractive regime for non-UK domiciled individuals (‘non-doms’).

There are number of Investor, Business Development or Skilled Worker visas options that allow experienced international businesspeople and their families to move to the UK.

Successful applicants, their spouse or partner and dependent children, can subsequently apply to settle permanently and qualify for UK citizenship.
