The Start‑Up work covers helping individuals who want to establish a business in the UK under the Start‑Up visa. A solicitor assesses eligibility, helps draft or refine the business plan, and guides the endorsement process with an approved endorsing body, before completing the visa application to the Home Office. They gather evidence, respond to any Home Office queries, and advise on extensions, switching routes, and family ties. The aim is to secure permission to set up and run a new business in the UK within the visa framework.

Solicitor

Works with Sadia Noori and 1 more
“After extensive online research I selected Cartwright King Limited to help my Indian partner obtain a Spouse Visa in 2016. I chose the company based on excellent reviews and very reasonable fee pricing. Since then both my partner and our adopted Indian daughter have been successfully granted Leave to Remain status through the expertise of Cartwright King solicitor Ms. Nisha Leel. Ms Leel's experience and knowledge made the application process straight forward. She provided clear, up to date information during the height of the COVID-19 crisis, enabling the application process to proceed with relative ease. Her ability to remain calm during moments of uncertainty were a great help and we are extremely thankful to her for providing such a wonderful service.”

“It was a good experience, working with Asra Shubbar, alongside her team Beatrice, and Abukar. Visa application process is normally very daunting. From the very beginning, the team has been in direct contact with me and guided me through each step, ensuring that all documents were prepared accurately and submitted within the time frame. Asra was always available to address any queries I had, through emails, and phone calls. Their expertise and commitment is invaluable and I am sure that anyone who engages their services, will be in excellent hands. ”

Syed Naqvi
Partner
“Syed Naqvi has been dealing with my very complex immigration case since 2020. My Indefinite Leave to Remain application had been unfairly turned down in 2016 and with a young family to feed and no right to work, I was in a very difficult place and even contemplated returning to my country. When I approached Syed in 2020, he gave me hope and encouragement and continued to fight my case at every juncture. Even when I was finally given Leave to Remain, he did not give up the fight and helped me with 2 JR applications (which were both successful) as he felt that I was entitled to Indefinite Leave to Remain. After a 9 year long fight, I and my family have finally been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain. I cannot thank Syed enough for what he has done for us and wish him success in future cases”
