Who We Are

Honest guidance.
Real execution.

Let's be upfront: Launchpoint is a new consultancy. We don't have hundreds of case studies or decades of history. What we do have is deep expertise in business development, market research, and technical execution combined with thorough knowledge of what UK endorsing bodies are looking for.

We started Launchpoint because we saw too many talented founders with brilliant ideas fail at the endorsement stage — not because their ideas weren't good enough, but because they didn't have the right support to present them properly.

Most visa consultancies help you fill in forms. We help you actually build the business — the research, the plan, the financial model, even the website and prototype. That's what makes an endorsing body say yes.

🎯

Endorsement-Focused

Everything we do is geared towards making your business case strong enough for endorsement.

🛠️

We Build, Not Just Advise

Need a website, prototype, or pitch deck? We develop them — not just tell you to get one.

💰

Genuinely Affordable

Every package is under £1,500. Quality support shouldn't be out of reach for early-stage founders.

🪞

Transparent & Honest

We'll tell you straight if your idea needs more work. No inflated stats, no false promises.

Client Stories

Founders we've helped

Real outcomes from founders who trusted us with their UK Innovator Founder Visa journey.

"

Launchpoint helped me transform a rough idea into a fully structured business with a real market research report and financial projections. The endorsing body commented positively on the quality of our documentation. I genuinely couldn't have done this without them.

I had been rejected once before and was losing confidence. Launchpoint rebuilt my entire business case from the ground up. The pitch deck and business plan they produced were on a different level. Second application — endorsed first time.

The Full Build package was absolutely worth it. They built my landing page, helped me define the MVP scope, and coached me through the endorsing body interview. Everything felt professional and well-prepared. My application was strong because theirs was thorough.

Everything you need to build
an endorsable business

From validating your idea to building your product — we cover the full spectrum of what endorsing bodies want to see.

Our Promise

Why we're different
and why that's a good thing

We could pretend we've been around for years. We could invent stats. We don't. Launchpoint is a new consultancy built on a simple belief: founders deserve affordable, high-quality support from people who will be straight with them.

🪞

Full Transparency

We'll tell you honestly if your idea needs more work. We'd rather help you succeed than take your money for a weak application.

🏗️

We Actually Build Things

Most consultancies advise. We advise and execute — from business plans to working websites and prototypes.

💸

Fair Pricing, Always

Every package is under £1,500. No surprise fees, ever. We keep costs low because we know founders are bootstrapping.

FAQ

Common questions

Straightforward answers to help you decide.

The Innovator Founder visa is a UK immigration route for entrepreneurs who want to establish a business in the UK. You need an endorsement from an approved body confirming your business idea is innovative, viable, and scalable. The visa is initially granted for 3 years and can lead to settlement.
There's no minimum investment requirement. However, you need to demonstrate you can support yourself and your business financially. We help you present your financial position clearly and credibly.
Fair question. We're new as a business, but our team has hands-on experience in business development, market research, and technical development. We're transparent about being early-stage — and that's exactly why we're more affordable, more accessible, and more motivated to deliver. Your success builds our reputation.
From our first call to submitting your endorsement application typically takes 4–8 weeks. The endorsing body assessment takes a further 4–6 weeks, and the Home Office visa decision takes 3–8 weeks. Total timeline: roughly 3–5 months.
Yes — this is one of our key differentiators. Our team includes experienced web developers and designers. We build professional websites, landing pages, and functional prototypes that strengthen your endorsement application and give your business a real head start.
Absolutely. We work entirely remotely. All consultations and delivery happen via video call and digital collaboration tools. We welcome clients from anywhere in the world.
We are a business consultancy, not an immigration law firm. We help you build a strong business and prepare your endorsement application. For formal immigration advice, we can refer you to OISC-registered advisors or immigration solicitors we trust.
Rejection is rare when applications are properly prepared, but it does happen. If your application is rejected after working with us, we'll review the feedback with you at no extra charge and advise on next steps. In many cases, rejection is because of factors outside our scope (e.g. interview performance or immigration history), but we'll be transparent about what went wrong and how to address it.
We are familiar with all current UK-approved endorsing bodies including Innovate UK, the British Library, and sector-specific bodies. As part of our Launch Ready and Full Build packages, we guide you through selecting the endorsing body that is the best strategic fit for your business — this choice can significantly affect your chances of success.
We work across sectors but have particular depth in technology (SaaS, fintech, edtech, healthtech), e-commerce, and service-based businesses. If your idea is in a niche sector, we'll research it thoroughly — our process adapts to any industry.
Yes. If you start with Foundations and decide you want us to proceed with the full business plan and application support, you can upgrade to Launch Ready or Full Build at any time — and the cost of your initial package is credited towards the upgrade price.
Yes. If you already have documentation and just want a review and enhancement rather than a full build, get in touch and we'll discuss a custom scope. We regularly help clients who've had applications prepared by others that weren't strong enough.
We stand behind our work. If you're not satisfied with a deliverable, we'll revise it until it meets the standard we've promised — included in every package. We don't offer refunds after work has been completed, but we do guarantee revisions and remain available for questions throughout the process.
