51.Money for investment can be shared by a team of a maximum of 2 entrepreneurs. Each team
member may apply to come to the UK as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant using the same
investment funds. Neither applicant must have used the same funds with any other applicant.
Please note: you should provide all the documents needed for evidence with your own
application. Your team member should also provide all the documents needed with their
application. In some cases this means that your team will need to send 2 sets of documents. It
will help in processing your application if you do not rely on information presented with anyone
else’s application.
52.You should remain aware that the Immigration Rules are subject to revision and update.
Therefore, if there is a time-lag between the submission of your own application and that of your
entrepreneurial team member, any changes to the Immigration Rules that take place during a
period between applications may affect your ability to apply as an entrepreneurial team.
53.No points will be awarded for funds that are made available to anyone else, other than your
entrepreneurial team member (if you have one). You may use your money that is held in a joint
account with your spouse or partner (defined as a person who has been living together with you
in a relationship akin to a marriage or civil partnership, for at least 2 years prior to the date of
application), and your spouse or partner is not (or is not applying to be) another Tier 1
(Entrepreneur) Migrant.
54. If either you or your entrepreneurial team member is applying in the UK, then you may only rely
on funds located in the UK.
55. In the case of entrepreneurial teams, where this guidance refers to funding being available, unless
stated otherwise, this means available to:
You; or
Your entrepreneurial team member; or
Your business.
Where this guidance refers to your business, your business must be a company and you
must be registered as a director of that business in the UK, and provide a Companies House
document showing the address of the registered office in the UK, or head office in the UK if it
has no registered office, and your name, as it appears on the application form as a director.
