In the United Kingdom, anyone of any nationality can establish a business. You do not need to have a residence permit or even to be physically present in the nation. The sole stipulation is that the business must be registered in the United Kingdom. There is no great difference between a visit visa and a business visa to the UK. A person with a business visa can stay in the UK for a maximum of six months as a business visitor at any point in time. If your visa was granted for a period of fewer than six months, you may apply for an extension of your visa which takes you up to a maximum of six months.

​

The following is a comprehensive list of the documents required for a UK Business visa:

• Original passport valid for six months beyond the visa's expiration date

• Online visa application form should be completed.

• Two recent passport size photos.

• Invitation letter from a UK-based business

• Evidence of your travel arrangements – airline ticket purchases, hotel reservations, and itinerary

• Account statement from the original private bank for the preceding six months

• Income Tax Returns for the preceding three years

• Indian company's cover letter and financial documents

• Letter of invitation from a UK company/business/establishment

• Confirmation and details regarding the reason for your journey to the United Kingdom

• If you are employed, a letter from your employer granting you permission to take a specified period of leave. The letter should include information about your employment, including the period of your work, your position, and your remuneration.

• If you are self-employed, you must provide evidence of your business activity, financial records, and financial credibility.

• Evidence of ties to your native country — for example, property ownership, family obligations/responsibilities, and work ties.
