"Whilst working as a legal assistant at a major UK immigration law firm over 10 years ago, my manager at the time asked me to review a client's business plan, which was meant to be submitted as part of their Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa application.
"Shocking" - would have been an understatement.
Dotted with grammatical errors, copy and paste formatting issues, incorrect financial forecasting and poor market analysis, I made it my mission to use all my legal training and economics qualification to completely revamp the document.
Today, that company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is one of the largest distributors of solar panels in the world."
- Geoffrey Yeung, MD, Visa Plan Writers
It was clear the market lacked professional visa business plan writers that specialised in writing business plans for immigration purposes.
There were plenty of "general" plan writers who could draft adequate documents that were suitable for things like bank loans, investors and other general purposes - but they had no knowledge of the immigration visa rules. As a result, the documents they produced did not address how the foreign entrepreneur would achieve their mandatory visa objectives.
Furthermore, there were endless number of immigration lawyers who were qualified to provide sound legal advice and were therefore capable of preparing decent visa applications, but they had absolutely no understanding of how to draft a commercially viable business plan in order to get to the visa submission stage.
That's where we come in.
