UK Innovator Visa
The Innovator Visa is the replacement for the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa. It is for non-EU and non-EEA nationals who are experienced entrepreneurs or professionals, and who wish to establish a viable business in the UK with real growth prospects.
The key point here is to understand the value of what you, as an investor, are getting. The UK Investor Visa requires you to invest £ 5 million in order to get ILR after 3 years. So, you are getting the same immigration result for a fraction of that money. Secondly, you are saving 2 years on other visas.
The Innovator Visa requires you to have an innovative idea, invest £50,000 in the idea through your registered UK business, get your idea approved by a UK Endorsing Body and comply with operational requirements in order to be eligible for ILR after 3 years on this visa.
It is the most cost effective way of acquiring ILR (Permanent Residency) of the UK.
