What if the Business Does Not Perform Well?

July 24, 2025 | Post by A Y & J Solicitors

If trading stops, you must surrender your sponsor licence. If your licence is surrendered or revoked, any leave granted under it will be curtailed and you’ll need to switch to another visa route or leave the UK.

Can I Switch from Another Visa to the Self‑Sponsorship Route?

July 24, 2025 | Post by A Y & J Solicitors

Yes. You can switch to self‑sponsorship from within the UK if you hold a Student (post‑course), Graduate, Start‑up, Innovator or Dependant visa. Visitor, short‑term student, seasonal worker and domestic worker visas cannot switch—you’d need to apply from overseas.
