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.

“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.
