If you want to be an entrepreneur, then we can simply help you with obtaining the relevant visa. However, we find that many people want to come to the UK and to work as freelance IT professionals, but do not really want the hassles of administering and running a company.

You will need to show that you have the relevant IT skills and that you have a sound business plan.
