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.

Services

What Mashoura Can Assist With

⚖ Substance and Compliance

A Genuine Business, Not Simply a Visa Application

The business must be genuine, commercially credible and capable of operating in the United Kingdom.

The position offered by the company must be a real role that meets the relevant skill, salary and immigration requirements. The company must also maintain appropriate records and comply with its ongoing responsibilities as a licensed sponsor.

Mashoura will explain these obligations clearly before you proceed.

Audience

Who Is This For?

Existing Business Owners

Entrepreneurs seeking to establish a UK presence or expand an existing overseas business into the British market.

Experienced Professionals

Senior professionals with the experience and resources to establish and actively operate their own UK business.

International Entrepreneurs

Individuals with a credible business concept who want to build a genuine company and long-term commercial presence in the UK.

Families Planning Their Future

Applicants seeking a structured route through which eligible partners and children may be able to accompany them to the UK.

Costs

Your Investment and Ongoing Costs

The total cost depends on the nature of the business, the number of applicants and the operational requirements of the company.

Mashoura will provide a clear schedule covering each of the items opposite, so you can plan with confidence before proceeding.

There is no fixed investment amount that guarantees approval. The business must have sufficient resources to establish itself, trade genuinely and meet its financial and sponsorship obligations.
