How We Compare
The Numbers Speak
6x higher success rate than going alone
Founders who apply on their own have just a 15% approval rate. With our guidance, that jumps to 95%. The difference? We build genuinely viable businesses that endorsing bodies want to approve.
Why We Succeed
Not just consultants. We're founders, builders, and strategists.
Most visa consultants give you templates and generic advice. We bring together four disciplines to build something real.
Immigration Expertise
Deep knowledge of UK visa systems. We know exactly what Envestors and Innovator International look for in applications.
Business Strategy
We've advised startups and corporates alike. Your 50-80 page business plan will be investor-ready, not just visa-ready.
Founder Experience
We've built startups ourselves. We understand the founder journey because we've lived the sleepless nights and pivots.
Tech Development
Our developers build interactive prototypes you can demo live. Not static mockups, but clickable, functional frontends.
Featured Success Story
From two rejections to endorsement approval
First Attempt: Rejected
Applied with another consultancy. Generic business plan, no prototype. Endorsing body cited lack of innovation and unclear viability.
Second Attempt: Rejected Again
Tried a different endorsing body with updated materials. Still rejected. Financial projections were unrealistic and market research was insufficient.
Came to UK Founder Lab
We rebuilt everything from scratch. Refined the business idea, conducted proper market research, built an interactive prototype, and prepared comprehensive financials.
Third Attempt: Approved!
Endorsement granted on the first try with us. Now running a successful FinTech startup in London with 12 employees.
"After two devastating rejections, I almost gave up on my UK dream. UK Founder Lab didn't just help me get the visa. They helped me build a business I'm genuinely proud of. The difference in quality was night and day."
Amit Kumar
FinTech Founder, India
Now employing 12 people in London
What made the difference:
- Complete business model redesign
- Interactive prototype for live demos
- Comprehensive market validation
- 12 hours of mock interview preparation

Client Testimonials
Real founders, real results
Join 50+ founders who trusted us with their UK entrepreneurship dreams.
I came in with just an idea. Jenny was extremely patient in explaining everything and gave me just the right amount of handholding. They turned my idea into a real business with a prototype, detailed financials, and a 65-page plan.
R. Kapoor
FinTech, India
Got rejected with another consultant. Jenny's team looked at my old application and spotted the problems immediately. Weak market validation, no prototype. They fixed both. Got endorsed three months later.
J. Tan
EdTech, Singapore
I messaged them at 11pm the night before my interview, completely panicking. Jenny actually replied and spent 45 minutes going through questions with me. That level of support is rare.
T. Adeyemi
HealthTech, Nigeria
Most consultants disappear after you get the visa. These guys still check in. They connected me with two investors and a potential co-founder. The relationship doesn't end at endorsement.
K. Hassan
PropTech, UAE
The financial model was so detailed that my lead investor asked if I had a CFO. I didn't. I just had a really good visa consultant. Closed £650K six months after landing in London.
D. Mensah
B2B SaaS, Ghana
The prototype they built looked and felt like a real product. I could demo it live during my endorsement interview. The panel was impressed I had something tangible to show.
A. Petrov
AI/ML, Russia
