A Business Manager visa is easier to structure when status of residence, business activities, licenses, office, and funding are reviewed before the company is incorporated, rather than trying to repair the structure afterwards.
Do not separate incorporation from the visa application
A company may be legally incorporable under company law while still requiring additional work for immigration or licensing purposes. Articles of incorporation, business purposes, office, directors, and the flow of capital should be designed with the entire application in mind.
Items to review before filing
- Planned business and revenue model
- Company form, officers and business purposes
- Candidate office and permitted use
- Capital, operating funds and source of funds
- Staffing and hiring plan
- Required licenses and notifications
- Contracts, quotations and transaction evidence supporting the business plan
Why pre-incorporation consultation helps
Reviewing incorporation, the Business Manager visa and licensing together can reduce rework such as changing corporate purposes after incorporation or discovering that the leased office does not fit the intended use.
Coordination with other professionals
We organize immigration, licensing, articles of incorporation and business purposes as administrative scriveners. Registration filings are handled in cooperation with judicial scriveners, and tax accountants or other professionals may be involved where necessary.
