You live and work in the UK — on your own terms.
You’re your own boss. You pay yourself a legal salary. You grow your company. You can bring your family. And after 5 years, you’re eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
No more employer dependency. No more restrictions. Just freedom, stability, and long-term success in the UK.
UK Self-Sponsorship Visa
.jpg)
You want to move to the UK, but you're tired of waiting for companies to sponsor you.
You’re experienced, capable, and ready to move — but most UK companies either don’t offer visa sponsorship, or reject applications due to immigration complexities.
You've applied to countless jobs, heard “only candidates with the right to work in the UK” too many times, and feel stuck.
Relying on job sponsorship limits your freedom — and wastes your potential.
Every rejection chips away at your motivation.
And even if you do find a sponsor, you’ll be tied to their company for 5 years — limited mobility, capped earnings, and visa stress if they terminate your job.
It’s a system built for dependence, not freedom.
Self-Sponsorship. Start your own UK company, sponsor your own Skilled Worker visa, and take control.
With Self-Sponsorship, you can move to the UK as the founder of a genuine company and sponsor your own visa legally — without needing an outside employer.

I want to move to the UK, but I’m confused about which visa is right for me. What should I do?The UK offers multiple visa options — Innovator Founder, Self-Sponsorship, Skilled Worker, Student… it’s overwhelming. Picking the wrong route can waste months and lead to rejection. At Idea Warehouse, we analyze your background, goals, and experience to recommend the best-fit visa route. You move forward with clarity, confidence, and a customized strategy.
-
Do you offer post-landing support after the visa is approved?Most consultancies disappear after your visa is granted. You’re left figuring out your UK life — jobs, business, taxes, branding — on your own. We provide webinars, community access, coaching, and ongoing resources even after you land. You don’t just survive in the UK — you grow with a support system behind you.
-
Why should I choose Idea Warehouse over other visa agents or consultants?Most agents give you a one-size-fits-all approach. Once your visa is filed, their support ends — even if you’re unsure what to do next. Idea Warehouse is different — we’re educators, strategists, and long-term partners. From business planning to personal branding and community support, we’re with you at every stage. You don’t just get a visa — you build a meaningful future in the UK.
-
I’ve already been rejected once. Can I still apply again?A visa rejection can feel like the end of the road. 😞 Most people don’t know what went wrong — or how to fix it. ✅ We do a rejection diagnosis, identify the gaps, and help you rebuild a stronger case — whether for the same visa or an alternate one. 🔁 Many of our clients succeed on their second attempt — with the right strategy in place.
