Application Process

Our application process is fast and efficient, designed to identify the projects which meet the required criteria for the each visa programme.

We achieve this using our proprietary ‘Maturity Matrices’, which allow us to assess your application against a series of key criteria. This allows us to understand in depth how strong and how mature your business proposition is, the chance of success, and where it would benefit from the greatest level of support and assistance.

Innovator Application Process

Innovator International is not just an endorsing body for my visa purposes, it is the company that I would have chosen even if I didn't need a visa to start my company here.

Innovator Application Process

Who can submit an
application?

We request that clients submit their own applications. We strongly advise that you read the criteria we seek in the downloadable Application Pack, prior to sending us your documents. The document describes how we assess your plan, to give you the maximum chance of submitting a successful application.

If your application is successful, we are able to issue your Endorsement. The average time for us to issue an Endorsement from our first contact with you is approximately a month.

How we assess applications

We recognise that every person and every plan is individual. We assess your application against the following criteria using our Maturity Matrix© assessment methodologies:

1

Innovation

Is your business sufficiently different to what else is available? 

2

VIABILITY

Is there a market for your proposition and can you deliver to that market?

3

SCALABILITY

Will your project grow to national and international markets?

4

MARKET ASSESSMENT

Does the plan address the market maturity, geography and competitors?

5

PRODUCT FIT

Does your solution clearly solve a problem, and can be developed within your resources? 

6

MARKETING & SALES

Is there a clear and achievable route to market without major risk points?

7

PEOPLE & SKILLS

Do you, and the business, have the skills needed to make this a success?
