Are you thinking of setting up your own business in the UK, or maybe you’re interested in hiring skilled workers from overseas? Whether it’s navigating the process of company registration, understanding the intricacies of food business requirements, or applying for a Skilled Worker Visa, we’ve got you covered at Naija UK Connect.
Here’s a detailed guide to help you through the process:
1. Company Registration
Starting your business in the UK involves registering with Companies House. You’ll need to choose the right business structure and meet all the legal requirements to get your business up and running.
2. Food Business Registration
If you plan to open a food-related business, it’s crucial to register with your local authority. Understanding these regulatory requirements will help ensure that your food business complies with the law, keeping you on the right side of the regulations.
3. Food Hygiene Certificate
For food businesses such as restaurants, catering services, or food delivery operations, obtaining a Food Hygiene Certificate is mandatory. This certification ensures that your business meets necessary hygiene standards and safeguards the health of your customers.
4. Employer’s & Public Liability Insurance
Managing risks is an important part of running a business. You’ll need Employer’s Liability Insurance (required by law if you have employees) and Public Liability Insurance (to cover claims from customers or the public). These protections help ensure your business is covered for unforeseen events.
5. Food Premises Approval
To operate a food business, you’ll need to ensure your premises meet the required standards for hygiene and safety. Obtaining food premises approval from the local authority is a key step to making sure your business is ready for operation.
6. Premises Licence (if Selling Alcohol)
If your business involves selling alcohol, you’ll need to apply for a Premises Licence. This licence is essential for complying with licensing laws, and we’ll guide you on how to obtain it.
7. Required Documents for a Sponsor Licence Application
If you want to hire skilled workers from overseas, you’ll need a Sponsor Licence. We’ll provide you with a list of the necessary documents required for your application, ensuring you meet all the requirements.
8. Eligible Job Roles & Salary Requirements for Sponsorship
When hiring international workers, it’s important to understand the salary thresholds and the specific job roles that qualify for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker Visa. We’ll give you a breakdown of the criteria needed to hire workers from outside the UK.
