You can apply for an Innovator visa if you want to set up and run an innovative business in
the UK, which is new – you cannot join a business that is already trading; innovative – you must have an original business idea which is different from anything else on the market and viable, with potential for growth.

Your business or business idea has been endorsed by an approved endorsing body. When
you apply you need to provide an ‘endorsement letter’ to show that an endorsing body has assessed your business or business idea. After 3 years of residency as innovator you can apply for indefinite leave to remain provided that you can get endorsed from the approved body that you have grown your business (5-year residency for partner & children).
