Entrepreneur Visa Programme through E&S Consultancy (UK) brings business talent to the UK


London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 12 December 2013

The UK is seen as a very desirable destination for foreign entrepreneurs looking to come and set up their businesses here. With the conversion of the Tier 1 Highly Skilled Migrant Visa category into the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa category, E&S Consultancy (UK) offers a 100% success rate guarantee on a no win no fee basis.

This visa route is very popular among highly skilled migrants and university graduates who have a business idea and the drive and finances to bring that idea to fruition.

The businesses that are set up are a boost to the UK economy and have the added benefit of providing numerous jobs into the market. With all the negative publicity immigration is receiving at the moment, this visa type is one that can be very beneficial to the UK.

“We believe the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa scheme is attracting a lot of new business talent into the British economy along with some very innovative technology,” said Elshad Huseynov, founder of E&S Consultancy (UK).

“We feel so strongly about the benefit these migrants will bring to the UK economy that we are one of the only visa consultancy firms that offers applicants our services on a no win no fee basis,” continued Elshad.

Entrepreneurs that want to take advantage of this visa category must invest £200,000 of their own funds or have £50,000 obtained from regulated venture capital firms or UK entrepreneurial seed funding competitions.

This will bring about a huge cash injection into the country and the British economy will feel an even bigger benefit when the number of entrepreneurs increases.

London is being touted as a new global tech hub with Tech City being set up to attract the best technology entrepreneurs into the country from around the world. With big companies on board like Google, Amazon and Cisco along with various universities also taking part like London Metropolitan University, London is set to become a magnet for foreign entrepreneurs.

In addition to all these benefits, another positive aspect of this updated visa category is that entrepreneurs that want to settle in the UK and obtain British citizenship will be able to do so after they have fulfilled certain requirements of the visa and shown that their business is providing an economic benefit and creating jobs.

“At E&S Consultancy (UK), we are very excited about the opportunities this visa category will bring to our clients and hope it will provide a much needed boost to the economy with highly skilled entrepreneurs bringing their businesses to the UK,” concluded Elshad.

John Saddington Talks with The Sales Whisperer


Temecula, CA (PRWEB) December 08, 2013

John Saddington told Wes Schaeffer, The Sales Whisperer®, that becoming an entrepreneur was not in his plan. After barely graduating from college, he went to work for Dell and later Fox News, quickly rising through the corporate ranks in both companies, which was his career plan. However, as he learned more about that world, the less respect he had for authority and realized that he could “do it better and faster.”

Since John left the corporate world and began building his own products in 2006, he has had a number of startups, has raised venture capital for others, and got his big break with Flash development. He had the idea for 8Bit around 2008, which came from his frustration in building sites for his clients. In 2012, Saddington began kicking around the idea for Pressgram because he was not satisfied with terms on other sites.

He also shares with Schaeffer how he funds projects through Kickstarter and Indiegogo. John tells Wes, “Entrepreneurs get frozen with ideas. We need to force the idea of scarcity on ourselves so we focus and dig deep and become excellent.” To listen to this fast-paced, idea-filled interview, and learn how to do what John Saddington has been able to do, go to http://www.thesaleswhisperer.com/session20.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) March 08, 2012

DishClips, an Orange County startup, took the grand prize of $ 10K as it placed first in the Digital Media category in this years Irvine Entrepreneur Forum, held at the Irvine Hyatt.

The Irvine Entrepreneur Forum (IEF), a signature program of the Irvine Chamber of Commerce, promoting entrepreneurship and economic developments, saw its biggest turnout with over 50 companies participating in its third annual business plan competition. Six finalists competed in the Shark Tank style presentations for the top prizes in digital and general categories. IEF, a gathering of entrepreneurs, venture capital executives, and angel investors, provides a platform for Orange County based startups to showcase their business plans.

DishClips launched its platform in November 2011, catering to diners by hosting HD video clips of food from restaurants. The company is positioning itself as the next-gen platform for restaurant marketing, leveraging the appeal of video and power of social media to help restaurants drive foot traffic by allowing diners to discover and share the dishes with their friends across their social graph. In the short time since its launch, DishClips has acquired 120 customers, including local favorites, The Anaheim White House, Opah Seafood, and Sabatinos. Im a foodie, and eat out a lot. About a year ago, I started to gather a video library of the food I enjoyed. I soon realized there was a demand for rich digital media in the restaurant industry, and DishClips was born, said Tan Rezaei. DishClips will expand into five additional markets and increase our base to 2,500 restaurants in the next 12 months.

Following the IEF, DishClips hosted its official launch event at the Astoria Tower in Irvine. It feels amazing to win, said Navid Firoozi. Weve always known the concept is great. Weve got a fully developed web application, and our customers and users love our offering, but we were up against stiff competition today. Were thrilled and look forward to achieving our next set of milestones, including our mobile applications, coming soon.
