Explain the business in concrete terms
Prepare a short account of the product, customers, ownership, funding and your role. Check whether the route expects innovation, endorsement, local investment, hiring or an established trading history. These are different tests; a strong business does not automatically qualify for every founder programme.
Compare permission with milestones
Read the initial approval and renewal stages together. Ask how business progress is assessed, whether you can change the business model and what happens if a co-founder leaves. Confirm permission for your partner and any other work you intend to do.
Review the company as well as the founder
Personal relocation can affect how and where a business operates. Arrange a review of company management, payroll, social security and relevant tax obligations. Incorporating a company and obtaining personal residence are separate steps that should fit the same operating plan.
