Re: T1E more than 1 business and questions about job creation

Thanks marcnath, for the reply. Sorry I need some further clarification. In this case, five of us are going to set up a new partnership company and I'll be one of the directors. We are going to buy a salon business, refurb the premise and hire new employees to run the business. If the money you inve...

Re: T1E more than 1 business and questions about job creation

Hi all, I have further questions about joining a partnership in the UK. As mentioned above, I'm planning to start a partnership company with 4 UK citizens to open a salon.

Re: T1E more than 1 business and questions about job creation

Dear marcnath, please do you mind explain a bit further on why it's not possible to claim job creation or meet investment requirement in joining a partnership company through my company? Isn't the money invested through my own company in the partnership company count as part of my £200k investment?

Re: T1E more than 1 business and questions about job creation

Thanks, marcnath, for your reply. I was trying to clarify that I don't have to be a director (but only a member) in a share capital partnership company to be qualified to claim the job creation. Seems you have affirmed that. Thank you. Please also do you suggest if there is any differences for me to...

So, if they had 5 jobs before you joined, it should have 7 for your renewal requirement 2) Yes, if you start a new business, you create 2 new FT jobs.

The immigration rules do not restrict you from that business. I don't believe that anyone can tell you whether one business has more chance that the other.
