Have 3–5 Years of Business or Non-IT Experience? Don’t Settle for Skilled Worker—Here’s a Smarter Route

If you’re currently on a Post Study Work (PSW) Visa in the UK and have 3 to 5+ years of business or non-IT professional experience, you’re probably exploring your next step.

For most, the immediate thought is to switch to the Skilled Worker Visa. But before you do that, here’s something you need to know:

This decision could define your freedom, flexibility, and future in the UK.

Let’s break it down.

The Skilled Worker Visa: What You’re Really Signing Up For

Yes, the Skilled Worker Visa is a valid route. But it comes with serious limitations that most applicants don’t fully realize until it’s too late.

Here’s what happens when you go down that path:

• You are tied to a single employer—meaning your job switch options are limited.

• You need permission even to take on an additional part-time role.

• If your employer loses their sponsorship license, your visa (and stability) is suddenly at risk.

  
  

In short: your freedom becomes dependent on someone else.

A Smarter Alternative: The UK Innovator Founder Visa

If you’ve got business experience, strong soft skills, and a willingness to build something new—the Innovator Founder Visa could be a far better fit.

Here’s what it offers:

✅ Start multiple businesses

✅ Be self-employed

✅ Hold a full-time skilled job — no sponsorship needed

✅ Direct path to ILR in 3 years

And the best part?

You don’t need a million-pound idea. You just need a genuinely innovative business plan and the right skillset to make it work in the UK market.

Who Is It For?

This route is ideal for professionals who:

• Have years of non-tech or business experience

• Feel restricted by traditional sponsored roles

• Want the freedom to create, grow, and scale their own business

• Are ready to commit to a long-term future in the UK
