Introduction
A Business-Led Route to the UK
Mashoura helps entrepreneurs and experienced professionals establish genuine businesses in the United Kingdom and explore whether their company can support an application under the Skilled Worker route.
We coordinate the company formation, business planning, sponsor licence application, immigration process and ongoing business support required to establish and operate in the UK.
ⓘ Establishing a UK company does not automatically provide a right to live in the UK. Every business and immigration application is assessed individually.
The Process
How the Process Works
A structured, four-stage engagement covering the corporate, regulatory and immigration steps required.
01
Initial Assessment
We review your professional experience, proposed business, available investment and immigration objectives to determine whether the route is suitable.
02
Business Establishment
We help establish a genuine UK company with an appropriate business model, corporate structure and plan for trading in the UK.
03
Sponsor Licence
Once the business is ready, we assist with its application to become a licensed sponsor with the Home Office.
04
Skilled Worker Application
Where the company and proposed role satisfy the relevant requirements, we assist with the Certificate of Sponsorship and Skilled Worker visa application.

Mashoura will explain these obligations clearly before you proceed.
