-- UK-based immigration law firm Garth Coates Solicitors (www.garthcoates.com) has reported a fivefold increase in enquiries from American nationals seeking relocation to the United Kingdom through business-led immigration pathways.
According to internal case data, most of the enquiries received in early 2025 relate to the self-sponsorship route under the Skilled Worker visa scheme. This pathway allows applicants to establish a UK-registered business, apply for a sponsor licence, and subsequently sponsor themselves for a work visa. It has become an increasingly attractive route for professionals and entrepreneurs from the United States.
The firm’s Principal, Mr Garth Coates, confirms that the majority of these new applicants come from industries such as technology, finance, consulting, and digital services. Many of the individuals are choosing to base their operations in London, citing the UK’s strong legal infrastructure, global market access, and favourable business environment.
The self-sponsorship model enables overseas professionals to take control of their immigration process by founding their own companies, meeting the Home Office’s eligibility criteria without relying on third-party employers. It also offers a viable path toward long-term settlement and residency in the UK.
To address this rising demand, Garth Coates Solicitors has expanded its business migration services to include comprehensive legal support for company formation, sponsor licence applications, Skilled Worker visa submissions, and compliance with UK immigration regulations.
With continued interest from skilled professionals abroad, the firm anticipates that business-led migration from the United States will remain a key area of growth throughout 2025.
