Build your business in the UK.
Whichever route fits you — Innovator Founder, Global Talent, Expansion Worker or self-sponsorship — Iskra's AI advisor works it out with you, assesses your business, and prepares your case with our team.
Iskra prepares your case. Endorsement decisions are made independently by authorised endorsing bodies, and visa decisions by the Home Office.
The same nine areas an endorsing body, an investor or a bank will probe. You answer once; every later stage builds on it.
From exploring to endorsed, one stage at a time.
You pay for preparation, never for the decision. That belongs to an authorised endorsing body.
Discover
Chat with the advisor, get a route recommendation, then answer nine questions for your free assessment.
Assess
A detailed Business Assessment across the nine areas and the three endorsement tests — as a document you can download.
Prepare
An AI-generated business plan built from your assessment, a gap analysis and an evidence map.
Review
An Iskra consultant reviews the whole case and prepares the referral pack.
Endorse
An authorised endorsing body independently assesses and decides. Fee paid directly to them.
After endorsement, Iskra's team and specialist network carry on: company formation and registrations, accounting, tax, payroll, compliance, and a registered adviser for the visa application. Readiness views are Iskra's preparatory assessment — not a Home Office score and not a guarantee of endorsement.
Which one fits you?
Innovator Founder
For a new, innovative, scalable business. No minimum investment — the endorsement is the test.
Global Talent
For founders with a track record others can already vouch for.
Expansion Worker
Open a UK branch of a company you already run abroad.
Self-sponsorship
Your own UK company sponsors you. Lawful, but harder to make stick pre-revenue.
Not a document. A stronger case.
Assessment, plan and review from the AI and Iskra's team — then the people who make a UK company real.
Free Founder Assessment
Nine areas, scored strong / moderate / needs work, with what to fix first. Run again as your case improves.
Business Assessment document
Every area expanded: what was assessed, the evidence in your answers, the gaps, and what would move it. Plus the three endorsement tests, criterion by criterion.
AI-generated Business Plan
Seventeen sections written from your assessment, each linked to the area it rests on — so you can see which sections are strong and which need evidence.
Gap analysis & evidence map
The top gaps in priority order, a 30 / 60 / 90-day plan, and every claim mapped to the evidence behind it.
Human review & referral pack
A qualified Iskra consultant reviews the whole case and packages it for the authorised endorsing body you choose.
Authorised endorsing body
UK Endorsing Services, Innovator International, Envestors or GEP assess your case independently and decide. Iskra prepares; they endorse.
UK company formation & registrations
Companies House incorporation, registered office, VAT, PAYE, business banking — set up properly from day one.

Endorse
Once your case is ready, you submit it to an authorised endorsing body of your choice. They assess it independently and decide — approve, request more information, or decline. Iskra does not make this decision and does not charge for it.
Start with a conversation.
Five minutes with the advisor tells you which route fits and gets you to your free assessment — before you spend anything.
