Approved: extension application to be submitted in April 2018

Thanks a lot Marcnath

The very last thing with regards to Job creation which is now becoming a concern, is that for one employee, their starting date has been printed on the following month's RTI. Indeed the one printed on there is showing the correct starting date, however I don't know if this must be of any concern at all.
I already asked the accountant to move this to the RTI of month they actually started, they say they have tried but unfortunately it seems to be a software issue that causes the starting date appear on next RTI.

I would appreciate if you share your valuable views with me

Don't worry about it. It's completely fine.

Q1. Yes, those wordings seem ok. Of course, you need the DL agreement and bank statements in addition. There has been a less noticed change in the immigration rules this year - it states that the team members need to have equal investments (not the exact wording, but that appears to be the end result).
Q2. The management accounts would be sufficient. If all the investment has been made before the last year end and it shows in last year's account, that would be sufficient. Only one set of accounts is sufficient - as long it shows the full investment.
Q3. No

Hello Marcnath

Our Management Accounts is ready, it is covering all the DL transactions throughout 3 years with terms of loan in note to creditors section.
However, this only has 2018's breakdown (company's 3rd year) as well as 2017's (company's 2nd year) as comparatives. Is this okay that 2016 comparatives (company's 1st year) are not on there, or shall I also submit 2017 accounts so that 2016 comparatives will be covered?

There is no requirement to submit 2016 accounts or comparatives so entirely up to you

The very last question with regards to MA, on the accountant report's page, there's only the accountancy firm (TaxAssist) appearing. However the accountant (the director) is a member of CIMA, I'm not sure if the firm is registered with qualified bodies (seems this is required by HO). Also I don't know if the page needed to be signed, who should sign/stamp it, should it be for example accountant on behalf of the firm.
Could you please advise what my options are?

Yes, i do. In fact, since Jan 2018, they have removed the requirement for starting date to be in the FPS totally.

You should be able to ask the accountant about the status of their registration. Also ask them if they can sign it. Some accountancy firms do not practice affixing an actual signature and if that is there practice, it should not matter. But if you have an email exchange that says it is their practice, you can attach that just as a back up. HO can always contact them directly anyway.

Thanks again @marcnath for all valuable help, I was looking to the RTIs issued so far, the latest three months are not fitted into one page. Indeed the Employer's Total Table (if you remember it from photos attached earlier) has been split into two pieces (a few table lines are appearing on the second page).

Not sure if I'm at risk of OCD, was wondering if this is an issue at all - if I print them on two papers 1-sided and staple them.

Yep - OCD case

My final questions with regards to job creation are as following. Your valuable advice would be again appreciated.

Q1. Our two job positions have been both sales assistant. Is this still the best known practice to be set as:

Job number: 1
Job title: Sales Assistant 1

Job number: 2
Job title: Sales Assistant 2


Q2. Date post created, as long as the date is before position was filled for the first time, must be okay?

Q3. End date in job table, is that the end period for each employee which is being claimed, or date for P45?

Thank you @marcnath, in this case if the employee is still working for the company shall I leave the end date blank for them?

Instead of leaving it blank, I would mention 'On-going'.

@marcnath, shouldn't the start date and end date be the period claimed ?

Thanks for all the advice so far, I'm summarising the application, and noticed the only place I'm attaching business bank statements, is in section K where pages with DL transactions are being submitted to back 200K investment.

Is there another section needing business bank statements or is that only it?

[marcnath]

@marcnath, shouldn't the start date and end date be the period claimed ?

I don't see why it should be. My interpretation is that it is exactly what it states - the start and end dates with the company.
