Preparing for Appeal in dec 2013

[Ashley2013]

Tier 1 -Entrepreneur Visa:
Application made in feb 2013 (main applicant + dependant + child born in UK)
UKBA aknowldged evidence of 50K but Visa refused in may 2013 because:
1. No CAR submitted
2. No advertising proof provided
3. No incorporation cert provided
4. Contract of service did not include tel num of client and UKBA could not match the SOC code in our application with the contract. The code was 1132.

The business (XYZ ltd) I mentioned in my application is for marketing and business development. It is operating & have only one client and receive payment regularly. 2 more client in the pipeline and correspondences and draft contract of service in progress. By now both advertising and website available & business plan.

After submitted my application I developed a second business (ABC Ltd - incorporated in July 2012 which became active in April 2013) in childcare (nursery) where so far I already invested over £20k.

My role at all times has been Business Development Manager.

The childcare business have already created 3 full time employment and a further 3 are in the pipe line and there are children registered in the nursery. XYZ Ltd wholly own ABC Ltd and annual return has been filed already.

Nursery business is code 2319. My worries are:
Can the UKBA argue that although I am improving sales of the business as a business development manager - I am not providing childcare services myself? Also major investment has been made in childcare business not in the one I mentioned in my original application?

Do I need to provide audited accounts so far? or an unaudited one will suffice.

Please give me some additional preparation hints.

your visa was refused on a business where document based evidence missing but you had or have another business in a dormant situation until mid of 2013

your point of worries are to be worried because working as business development manger is administrating a business when services provided to clients are child-caring, you should have obtained or had ability to deliver childcare if it is recognized to be at level 4 or above would have made you qualified to run a business as childcare when an entrepreneur decides to switch into different business for what ever reason no problem with that.

I do not know completely about your fiscal situation if you still can show 50,000 having 20,000 invested in childcare where my suggestion will be to stick to business you shown up(as you role is to deliver advice on businesses etc. ) at the time application and provision of missing documents unless you have ability in terms of being qualified or are lawfully allowed to deliver such a service as childcare by yourself switching in this situation will be more appropriate as you got good points you have employed people,money invested and running this business successfully.

business at the time of application was making you qualified to deliver a job you claimed you do or did if presented well however childcare where your role is administrating will not let you score the points, remember your SOC is what your company provides to clients not your services to your company like business development.

hope above helps but do not forget to get professional help...

thanks
