Starting business on spouse visa?

Post by mcdonald202 » Fri Mar 10, 2017 10:54 am

Hello,

I'm new to the board so wasn't sure where to ask. My spouse just got her spouse visa which allows her to work. We applied on FLR (M) route.

Is she allowed to start a business like an LTD and start trading? There doesn't seem to be any guidance regarding this. :(

Thank you :mrgreen:

Yes, she is free to do any employment, including starting a business.

Great cheers! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Just wanted to know when she applies for extension for the visa does she need to submit her own finances or can she still be sponsored by me?

Either option, combined income or yours or hers.

A point to note though, the requirements if she uses her self employed income for her extension requires a lot of different paperwork to prove income that normal PAYE employment.
