What we can evidence
Checking the current requirements first
We can confirm that funds identified as director's investment have been received into the company bank account and recorded as capital introduced in the accounts. We do not assess whether that investment satisfies Innovator Founder eligibility, which is a Home Office matter.
Where you have introduced funds into the company, whether as share capital or a director's loan treated as investment, we can confirm the amount, the date it was received, and how it is recorded in the company's books, cross-checked against bank statements and the accounting records held.
This is a factual confirmation of what happened financially in the company, not a statement about the source or legitimacy of the funds beyond what we can see in the records, and not a judgement on whether the amount or structure meets the requirements of the route.
The Innovator Founder route's evidence requirements are set by the Home Office and have changed over time, including how investment is defined and what documentation is expected. Check the current published guidance, or take advice from an immigration specialist, before requesting a specific letter, and share any required wording with us in advance.
We can only confirm what our records support. If funds have not yet been formally recorded as capital introduced, or the accounting treatment does not match what the route requires, that needs resolving in the books first, which may take some time depending on when the investment was made.
Rates, thresholds and deadlines quoted here reflect the 2026/27 UK position and current Companies House and HMRC guidance. Check GOV.UK, or ask us, before relying on them for your own company.
