Tech Start Ups
Westkin immigration lawyers assists many start ups including tech start-ups in their UK immigration matters.
The UK Government, across the summer of 2011 sought to assist young start-ups and other similar companies, particularly in the technology industries to settle in the UK.
Steps included the creation of a “Silicon Roundabout” in Central London specifically designed for young tech companies to operate within. Similarly, UKBA have also instituted lower levels of requirements for entrepreneurs who seek to enter to develop their ideas in technology based start-ups.
For example the UK entrepreneur scheme are normally requires an initial investment of 200,000 seed capital. However for those companies that have set up in the United Kingdom with assistance from certain venture capitalists firms and certain UK government funding schemes they will find their initial outcome and outlay reduced to only £50,000 instead of the £200,000 otherwise.
The UK remains committed to help these young tech start-ups and Westkin is on hand to assist the start-ups in all their immigration matters.
These forms of assistance can include:
1. Entrepreneur visas
2. Investor visas
3. Sole Responsibility Visas
4. Tier 2 licences, including Intra Company Transfers
Please contact Westkin Associates if you are a young tech start up with any immigration concerns or queries.
