Dear Mods and Experts,

Please help me with below

I'm registered as director of my compan since 2018 and now i recent sent confirmation statement, but since I came to UK just less than 3 months ago is ther any changes I need to inform.

In the companies house registration the country of residence was my home country before and it still reflects the same, is it mandatory to change to country of residence to UK

Please assist.

Regards,
Abuhf
No to both under the immigration rules, though I am not sure why you would not change the companies house record - it is such a simple thing

Yes sure - but I have never heard of such a limit. Is this from an overseas bank ?

if you want to transfer funds with a overseas third party UK bank always generate a letter when a forgien remittance is done you can get a letter from your UK bank which confirms the funds are transferred from overseas if you are transferring funds from Indian money exchange company they will provide you a Telegraph transfer copy


hope so that helps

Thank you so much Umar,

The third party said i can pay him in local currency in India and he will transfer from his business account in uk

Is it accceptable ??


Is email conversation sufficient?

thats fine , i know i ve transferred funds from Pakistan we pay them in Local currency ,

how you are investing funds via Director Loan or Share capital

if its via director loan the money must come into your personal account and then it must be transferred into ur business account

if its via share capital them funds must come into ur business account and relevant equity shares must be issued by your Accountant hope so that helps

thats fine , how you are investing funds as director loan or share capital ?

if its director loan then ask him to transfer funds from his personal to your personal account

if its share capital he can send money into ur business bank account

make sure you keep evidence of the funds being transferred to him in india ,

Hi Umer

I’m director of company and I will invest funds as directors loan.

In petrol bunks there will be three Directors including me ( other two directors are my cousins, one hold ilr and other Holding family resident permit ( brp ) so if we create two full time job with settled person can I still claim it for job creation under tier 1 ?

Please advise

well if u r doing it via director loan funds must be transferred into personal account then into business account


source of funds must be clear as this the major thing they ask in genuine entrepreneur test


you have to show you have spent £200k in one or two business you must be 100 percent share holder of that business correct me if i am wrong but i think so you must have £200k invested in your 2-3 business in which you are 100 percent share holder

Assalamualaikum Umer,

To be on safeside I will transfer excess of GBP 200K from my country to UK since I'm intend to do many businessess.

Can I transfer excess of GBP 200K and invest all in business allowed under Tier 1

Also to show I spend GBP 200K, all I need to do is make as director loan and transfer to Business account.

On what all things GBP 200K needs to be spend on, since I'm working from home can I take part of the rent from this investment until I find office ?

In regards to Directors and share holders, could you please clarify that I must own 100% share of any business I do ?

Jazak ALLAH Khair for your care.

Regards,
Abuhf

Dear Mods and Experts,

First and foremost I would like to thank you all for your continued support.

I came to UK on 3rd Week of September 2019 and continued with a same company which I registered in October 2018.

I'm a only director of my business and dont require any staff at this moment as its been manageed by our back up office outstide UK.

Importantly I havent transferred GBP 200K funds from my country since my business here is generating income.

Can I tranfer the funds later after one year ?

Kindly correct me if there is anything I'm missing anything on above.

Your suggestion is highly appreciated

Important note - Can I tranfer the money earned in UK form my business account to my saving account and than transfer to business account show it towards money invested from GBP 200K for Extension / ILR purpose , Will it be any issue with it.

Kindly advise.

No, you cannot do this as all you are doing is recycling money that is already the business money that is not the £200k you had to prove to get the visa.

Hi CR001

Thank you so much for enlighten

Just to reconfirm - I can transfer £200K next year if I want right ?

During extension / ILR will they ask for proof of transfer from My country to UK or they just need to see the proof of money invested from my savings to business account ?

Sorry to repeat this question, there is no time limit to transfer funds from my country to UK right ?

Hope it’s not mandatory to transfer funds with in 6 months after grant of Initial visa right ?

In regard to job , If I create two full time position of jobs lasting atleast 30 hours per week for same job title it it ok “ Two Sales assistant “

Kindly regards
