Hi shaf

If it's in London very likely it will be via video.

You can possibly make notes but my experience says you will be more into answering questions hence won't really get a chance to write up.

Not sure about representatives but I didn't take anyone and looked unnecessary as well.

Hope this helps

Hello
Thanks for everyone who shared their questions here. My interview was also online like Skype and took for an hour.

The questions I remember:
- Name and Date of birth
- if I'm employed at the moment?
- Company name and its nature
- Why I registered with company house? Answer: I wanted to create a company and it requires to register your company with company house.
- My previous work experiences
- How much I invested and where exactly (details of investments)? Answer: employees' salary, legal expenses, accountancy expenses, office rent, advertisement, computer equipment, travel costs...the answer was type of investment with figures.
- My employees name with spelling
- the employees' roles in my company
- how did I recruit them?
- how much I've paid as the salary in total
- how much national insurance I paid
- how much tax I paid
- how much corporation tax I paid
- each year's loss or profit details
- my accountant name, his company name and address
- how much I pay for the advertisement?
- How and where do I advertise?
- How many contracts? I explained our work is mixture of contracts and we also charge hourly rate for our consultancy sessions
- Do you train your employees
- if the employees still working for me?
- who are my business competitors?
- what would I do if the business fails

It was a friendly interview, and seems there are set questions, and I could add more to my answers or change them. You need to know your business and the accountancy terms like corporation tax and annual returns. My answers were being typed by the interviewer.

Best wishes for everyone!

Dear friends, I have done my interview this morning , I am going to share all the information which I remembered . It took within 30 minutes and all the questions related to my business .
1,name ,date brith and nationality.
2, how much I have invested and detail.
3, how many employee I have employed ? details .
4 Five or four questions tailored to my own business
It is very short time than I expected , I am little bit nervous because it is my first time to do it .The interviewer is a man who looked like very serious. I am not sure if I did a very good answer but God knew all of my answers are genuine.
Good luck for all of us .

I believe there are cases that are not called for an interview. We don't see them on the forum because with an exception of a few the ones that are called for an interview or problems write and discuss on the forum others are silent observers and disappear after their visa is granted. Hence we don't see or hear about them.
This is my thought on the subject I might be wrong.
