Website Review: Feedback on our UK Innovator Founder Visa resource guide

[kamran.ali.khn]

Hi everyone,

We recently published a comprehensive guide aimed at international entrepreneurs looking to start and scale tech ventures in the UK via the reformed priyanshudecode Innovator Founder Visa.

With universities no longer directly acting as endorsing bodies and the removal of the old £50k minimum capital rule, there is a lot of outdated advice circulating online. We wanted to build a clear, plain-English resource covering the 3 core assessment pillars (Innovation, Viability, Scalability) and the designated endorsing bodies.

I would really value the community's honest critique and feedback on:
1. User Experience & Readability: Is the flow and structure clear for early-stage founders?
2. Content Depth: From a UK business perspective, are there any key operational aspects (like HMRC setup or compliance) you think we should expand on?

Thank you in advance for your time and constructive feedback!

Without a link to the guide itself, feedback on flow is tricky, but one quick test: hand it to someone who has never heard of the visa and see if they can explain the three pillars back to you in under a minute. If not, the structure needs trimming.

Content gaps worth covering from the UK admin side:

• Registering for Corporation Tax with HMRC within three months of starting to trade
• PAYE registration if the founder draws a salary, and Self Assessment for directors
• Confirmation statement, PSC register and a UK registered office address at Companies House
• The VAT threshold (currently £90k turnover) and when voluntary registration makes sense
• Opening a UK business bank account as a non-resident, which trips up far more founders than the endorsement does
• The endorsing body check-ins at 12 and 24 months, and what evidence they expect
