Self-Sponsored Business Visa Services at CS Solicitors

At CS Solicitors, we specialise in supporting entrepreneurs and business owners through the Self-Sponsored Business Visa route — a flexible and powerful pathway to establish or expand your presence in the UK.

If you own or intend to set up a UK-based business, you can sponsor yourself as a senior employee and later extend sponsorship to other key staff. Our experienced immigration team is here to guide you through every stage of the process.

Why Choose the Self-Sponsored Route?

• Secure a 5-year visa for yourself and your dependants from the outset.
• No minimum investment requirement.
• Eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 5 years.
• Sponsor additional employees and scale your team.
• Undertake any type of business activity, in any part of the UK.
• Salary can start from £38,700 per year, with no business target requirements.
• Own 100% of your company, acquire an existing business or invest in a franchise.

"CS Solicitors played a pivotal role in setting up my UK marketing company and securing my 5-year visa. Their attention to detail and personalised support meant I could relocate with my family and focus on growing my business." – Client Testimonial
