Accelerated Route Question

[davidhook1]

Hi,

I'm one year into my initial visa. My British citizen family member owns a large company. Is it possible for me to join his firm as a director and a shareholder and apply for accelerated route? The company is a low margin business but a very high revenue and labour intensive business. The revenue was £40m last year and is growing at 10% a year, so the company would easily add another £5m in revenue by the time I apply. The only problem is I would be a very small shareholder (1%) and of course I'll be a director.

I have a MBA with from a highly respected university so I can help them with their cost reduction initiatives.

Is this scenario possible?

Thanks.

Yes, as long as you make the investments and increase the turnover by £5m
