FLR(M) Finance - Employed by partner

[HakmedBond]

Hello to all,

I am looking to find out about the experiences of others on a slightly confusing scenario:

What happens when the applicant who is in a full-time salaried employment by a company whose sole director and shareholder is his/her spouse? If the applicant is and has been earning over the required financial threshold amount for more than the specified 6 months, backed with supporting documents (bank statements & payslips), then surely there shouldnt be any questions on meeting the financial requirements of the FLR(M) extension application.

Or would the HO consider the above as "self-employed" and require additional documents related to the business as they whould normally request for the FLR(m) extension applications on "self-employed" basis?

Fundamentally, the HO would NOT ask all the applicants to provide documents related to their employer and/or business accounts - for FLR(M) extension applications where the applicant/spouse meets the threshold by means of salaried employment. I would like to find out if there is an exception for the applicants who work for a company whose sole shareholder and director is their partner.


Many thanks in advance!
