Thank you very much for your quick reply really appreciate tht.
I received my visas last year in march 2017 and in June 2018 my 5 years will b copmplet as T1E but my visa will expire in march 2019 and also my 10 years will b complete in December 2018 too so shall I apply for ILR through T1E or shall I wait till December and go for ILR tht way please.
And my business is running properly alhumdolillah
One worker is with me from 5 years and the other 2 part time working from last year but there is no gap everything up to date.
Thank you very much.

So here is my take on this. T1e is a pain in the mule application, with pitfalls on minutiae (well you passed the extension so you know) and most importantly no premium service. With timelines on t1e taking a long time, go for LR in premium. probably get it faster.
BUT we have some evidence that HO is taking a deeper look at T1Es even when "switching" to other routes (the day you go to premium your visa is still t1e...) and may want to not decide on the spot and research if you were a genuine entrepreneur. So keep following this board, and mostly when you apply LR give at least the basic background to not let CW think you may have not been genuine entrepreneur
I do not know how LR/Premium works but if you can convey "My business is still running, I proudly employ 3 people and am continuing to grow my business" that can help. How you do that is from "sweet talking" to a brief that has the high level evidence (even pictures of your business) again, all of this is informal there is no evidentiary requirement at all. In your case that you are successfully running a business while raising a special child is another positive point.
