A free pre-assessment tool for prospective applicants to the UK Innovator Founder visa. It scores a business idea against the three Home Office criteria every endorsing body cares about: innovation, scalability, and viability.
Live site: https://www.ukinnovator.online
Two assessment modes, both free and with no sign-up:
- Quick assessment: a short form giving an immediate read on whether the idea is in the right shape for the route.
- Detailed assessment: a longer structured review covering novelty, addressable market, growth levers, revenue realism, funding readiness, and common red flags. Outputs actionable next steps, validation checklists and KPIs to track.
The feedback is framed around the wording endorsing bodies actually use, so a prospective founder can see where the idea is strong, where it is thin, and what to work on before paying a lawyer or approaching an endorsing body (UK Endorsing Services, Innovator International, Envestors, Global Entrepreneurs Programme).
Prospective Innovator Founder applicants who want an honest first-pass before committing time and money to a full application. It is not legal advice and it is not an endorsement.
