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.

“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.”
