Just search in this forum for interview questions. There are a number of others who have already shared their experiences in great detail.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.

Hi Lema,

don't worry about interview, just take your financial documents (accounts and number for your reference), you will not be asked to submit any documents there in VFS as it will be video interview. You can refer documents when answering questions asked by the person on other side, he wont be your case worker . Just memorise your company details, employee details, payments , investments and explanation for any unusual transactions on your business bank accounts. Be confident , if you know your business interview is a cake walk.

If you brought the investment from overseas then make sure you know the exact dates when money was transferred from overseas to your account. Go through you annual accounts. Memorise the profit and loss of each year.
How you hire your employees, services you are providing.
Many people are being interviewed who brought investment from overseas.
My investment was from uk but I'm still expecting interview. May be in coming weeks or latest February.
