Indicative guidance only. Endorsement decisions are made independently by endorsing bodies.
What the readiness check measures
Endorsing bodies assess every Innovator Founder application against three tests. The check asks about the evidence you have today for each one: your innovation and competitors, your experience, demand, funding and forecast, and your hiring plan, growth route and milestones.
A low score is not a verdict on your idea. It shows what to strengthen before you apply, which is far cheaper than a refusal. Read more about why endorsements get refused and the full requirements.
Questions
Is the readiness check accurate?
It is an indicative self-assessment based on the criteria endorsing bodies use. It shows where your case is strong and where it needs work, but it cannot predict an endorsement decision.
Do I need to sign up?
No. You get your score and priority gaps immediately. Sharing your result with us for a free review is optional.
What happens if I send you my result?
We review your answers and idea and reply within one working day with honest feedback on what to fix first. There is no obligation to buy anything.
Is this immigration advice?
No. We help with the business case and plan. For advice on eligibility or your visa application, speak to a regulated immigration adviser or solicitor.
