A visual guide to the UK Innovator Founder visa, with a workbook to build your own plan.

First 100 buyers get a free 10-minute walkthrough call with the author.

The Innovator Founder route asks an endorsing body to check three things about your business: is it innovative, is it viable, and is it scalable. This kit explains each one in plain words, shows what a clear record looks like on the page, and gives you worksheets to build your own.

What's inside

• The Playbook: 89 A4 pages in seven parts, from first idea to settlement
• The three tests (innovative, viable, scalable) explained one by one
• 15 sample A4 evidence pages, all built around one invented business
• The business plan, section by section, plus the endorsement meeting and letter
• After endorsement: contact points and the settlement criteria
• 28 questions founders ask, answered
• The Companion Handbook: 23 A4 pages with 19 worksheets and tables, including a claim-to-record planner, a business-plan planner, a 12-month cash forecast, a unit-economics table, a readiness checklist, a route tracker and a 12-week plan

Who it's for:

founders planning to start a business in the UK who want to see the whole route clearly before they write a plan or approach an endorsing body.

General information, not immigration advice, and not an assessment of whether you qualify. No link with any government body or endorsing body.

Rules and fees change, so check GOV.UK before you apply, and speak to a regulated immigration adviser about your own case.
