ILR & Settlement

Comprehensive support for your Indefinite Leave to Remain application — the final step to permanent UK residence.

What This Service Covers

After 3 years on the Innovator Founder Visa, you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) — permanent residence in the UK. This is the goal the entire journey has been building towards.

The ILR application requires evidence that your business is active, that you have been genuinely involved in running it, and that you have met at least 2 of the 7 achievement criteria. You also need a fresh endorsement from your endorsing body.

I compile the complete evidence package, secure your fresh endorsement, prepare you for the Life in the UK Test, and manage the application through to approval. After ILR, I can also guide you towards British citizenship if that is your goal.

The Process

1

Readiness Assessment

I review your business achievements against the ILR criteria and identify any gaps that need addressing before application.

2

Evidence Compilation

I compile comprehensive evidence for each achievement criterion you have met — financial records, employment records, revenue data, and more.

3

Fresh Endorsement

Your endorsing body needs to provide a fresh endorsement confirming your business meets the criteria. I manage this process.

4

Life in the UK Test

Guidance on preparing for and booking the Life in the UK Test, which is a requirement for ILR.

5

Application Submission

I assemble and submit the complete ILR application with all supporting evidence, endorsement letter, and required documents.

6

Settlement & Beyond

Once ILR is granted, the UK is your permanent home. After 12 months, you can apply for British citizenship if you choose.
