Submission Package Specs

What Goes Into Your Endorsement Dossier

UK Endorsing Bodies do not accept academic slide decks. We assemble a 40+ page comprehensive technical dossier that demonstrates your venture's execution readiness.

Legal Note: We leave formal visa filings to your solicitor. We focus strictly on what lawyers can't do: writing production AI code, building financial models, and assembling submission-ready technical dossiers.

Home Office Framework

The 3 Statutory Endorsement Pillars

To secure a UK Innovator Founder Visa endorsement, your business plan and prototype must satisfy all three statutory requirements:

Pillar 01

Innovation & AI Moat

You must have a genuine, original business plan that meets new or existing market needs and creates a competitive advantage through proprietary technology, unique AI workflows, or novel IP.

  • ✓ Technical IP & Proprietary Algorithms
  • ✓ Functional Prototype / Working MVP
  • ✓ Clear Competitive Moat Breakdown
Pillar 02

Commercial Viability

You must possess the necessary skills, knowledge, experience, and market awareness to successfully run the business. Assessors inspect 3-year P&L models, unit economics, and founder capability.

  • ✓ 3-Year Audited Financial Model
  • ✓ Unit Economics & Margin Analysis
  • ✓ Founder Domain Experience Dossier
Pillar 03

Global Scalability

There must be evidence of structured planning and potential for job creation and growth into national and international markets within 36 months of endorsement.

  • ✓ UK & Global Go-To-Market Strategy
  • ✓ UK High-Skilled Job Creation Roadmap
  • ✓ Enterprise / Partner Traction Evidence

What We Do For You

Everything You Need to Get Endorsed

UK Endorsing Bodies want to see a credible, innovative business — not an academic template. We help you build every part of the submission package, from first idea to final dossier.

01 / BUSINESS PLAN

Business Plan

A co-written business plan structured around the Home Office's three criteria: Innovation, Viability, and Scalability. Written in the language that endorsing bodies respond to — not generic MBA templates.

Endorsement-Ready
02 / FINANCIAL MODEL

Financial Projections

A credible 3-year financial model: revenue forecasts, cost structure, unit economics, and cash flow. Assessors scrutinise the numbers — we make sure they hold up.

3-Year Model
03 / MVP & PROTOTYPE

MVP Co-Building

We design and help build a working prototype or MVP for your venture. A functional product proves execution capability and technical depth — far more convincing than a slide deck.

The Bar to Clear

The Three Pillars of Endorsement

To qualify for the UK Innovator Founder Visa, your business plan must satisfy three strict statutory criteria. Here is how we build your application to meet them:

01
Home Office Criterion 1

Innovation

You must have a genuine, original business plan that meets new or existing market needs, and/or creates a competitive advantage. We structure a clear technological or algorithmic moat to make your innovation undeniable.

02
Home Office Criterion 2

Viability

You must prove you have the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to run the business. We help supplement your professional credentials with a technical roadmap and product prototype that highlights founder execution capacity.

03
Home Office Criterion 3

Scalability

Your plan must show structured planning, potential for job creation, and a pathway to national or international scale. We design robust financial models, go-to-market strategies, and hiring plans aligned with UK economic growth goals.

04
Post-Endorsement Support

Studio Backing

Once endorsed, your journey is just beginning. As a London-based studio, Junagal provides permanent operational governance, technical leverage, and shared services as you build your venture locally.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential details on how the Innovator Founder Visa advisory program works.

How is Junagal different from an immigration lawyer?

Lawyers handle the legal filings and compliance. Junagal is an AI Venture Studio—we refine your business model, design your AI/data moat, build your MVP, and write an execution-ready business plan that satisfies the strict technical and financial criteria of UK Endorsing Bodies.

Does Junagal guarantee endorsement?

Endorsements can only be issued by Home Office-authorized Endorsing Bodies. However, our technical and operational background ensures your venture blueprint is structured to the highest possible standard, significantly maximizing your likelihood of success.

Is there a minimum investment capital required?

Unlike the legacy Innovator Visa, the UK Innovator Founder Visa has no statutory minimum investment capital requirement (previously £50,000), provided your business plan is endorsed as viable and scalable. You still need sufficient funds to execute the plan and support yourself.

What happens after I get the visa?

You relocate to the UK and launch your business. Junagal remains an active studio partner, providing operational support, shared technical infrastructure, and strategic governance to help your venture compound value in London.
