Opening the doors to the globe’s innovative businesses
As one of the top five economies in the world, the UK offers extensive business opportunities for aspiring global entrepreneurs. Get a head start on those prospects by setting up a UK business from overseas. If you're a senior member of the company, all you need is a Representative of an Overseas Business visa, which you could obtain with guidance from MRG Solicitors.
The visa allows you to work and live in the country initially for 3 years, which you may extend for another 2 years, if required. After completing 5 years of residence in the UK you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. You can also bring your dependants with you. Whilst the application process is never easy, our legal teams, based in both Manchester and London, can guide you with this whilst you focus on establishing your business presence in Britain and test the market without the overheads needed for hiring local staff or setting up an office branch.

What is a consent order?A consent order is a legal document that confirms your mutual agreement. It includes details on how the children are to be looked after. Both parents have to sign the draft consent order and get it approved by a judge. It is usually approved without a hearing and saves costs for both parties. If spouses cannot agree, further hearings will need to be held. A CAFCASS officer may spent time with the children and parents for a detail assessment and additional information may also be required. The court will then make a final decision on the arrangements, which is then recorded as an official, legally binding order. The consent order covers: Living arrangements The amount of time spent with each parent When and what types of contact can occur (such as phone calls)

These include changing schools, moving abroad and other essential matters.
