Investment through share capital

[pokekap07]

Hi there,
I operate as a limited company.
I registered my first business within the 6 months on my initial visa approval.
The second business was registered on the 7th month. (1 month ago).

Since my second business is doing well I am planning to employ staffs through that.
Will there be a problem later when I apply for an extension because they might just look at my second business and not give me points saying it was registered late?

Thank you for your time and support. This forum is amazing.

You should submit details of both companies at your extension.
First business to meet the requirements of registration within 6 months.
And the second to show you are still involved in a business.

They don't need to to be the same

Hi everyone,
The money I invested was through share capital where 1 share was valued at £1 so hence the £50,000 investment.
From this forum, I can see most people opt for Directors Loan. Is it okay for me to invest this way? Am I at a disadvantage here?

Yes, it is perfectly ok.
And I think better from immigration rules - lesser documentation and demonstrates more commitment

Thanks for the prompt reply marcanth
Yeah looking at the policy guidance, it does seem this would be easier/less paperwork to do.
