Hi,
How long was your interview, did they ask you about business plan and market research?

Yes , they asked about market research a nd business plan. Interview lasted for 1 and half hour . Interviewer asked me questions such as size of your premises , employee laws (maternity leave ) and different methods of advertising, website content , materials use whilst delivering your services , customers satisfaction rate (outcome of your services ) after delivering services , employee's hourly pay justification (market comparison ) etc .
If you know your business well you can explain above answers in details .

Nope , he didn't ask me to submit any documents. As you can see I got my BRP following week means they made my decision very quickly. 8) You can just explain in market research that why have you chosen particular area (trading location) . Find out your atleast five competitors in that area. You can also explain him how you differ from your others? He didn't ask any particular business plan related questions but I explained him what are my plans whilst explaining my investment breakdown. He was quite happy :D

Brilliant, I was going through the forum about applicants had an interview at VFS London. I have received an email to contact interview on 10th Sept, Can you please tell me what did interviewer asked you. Is it a Skype interview and caseworker directly conduct the interview? Can we take our documents with us to answer questions? Because its hard to remember all details of payments coming in and going out from business bank account. Rest info in unaudited accounts is hard to remember as well.
