If you really can't find a job, try the Tier 1 Entrepreneur. The new changes mean that you can get it if you can get 50,000 from a venture capitalist. or if you have a spare 200,000 of your own cash lying around, that can work too.

They would then look at your case very carefully and they will be able to advise what your best options are. note: the consultant/solicitor/lawyer really (must) be a level 3 to help you inc...
