Before you proceed

The questions
that matter.

Is Innovator Founder the only route for a business founder?

No. The correct route depends upon the founder, the business, its ownership and the proposed UK role. Innovator Founder, sponsored work and other routes should be compared before the structure is fixed.

How early should endorsement strategy begin?

Before the final business plan and evidence pack are produced. Innovation, viability, scalability, founder market fit and the commercial model must be coherent from the outset.

Can you review an existing business plan?

Yes. The review should test the plan against the endorsement criteria and the underlying evidence, rather than simply editing the language of the document.
