    How do you prove financial requirements from your own company?

    Hi, I am starting the trawl through all the paperwork requirements in preparation for our fiancee visa submission (probably not submitted till October as still waiting divorce final paperworks)

    I am the Director of my own company in the UK (the other director is my ex-wife - soon to be removed) however will our friends at UKBA accept a letter as requested in the financial requirements (5.5.2) stating
    • Letter from the employer confirming the person’s employment and annual salary, the length of their employment (and the period over which they have been or were paid the level of salary relied upon in the application), and the type of employment (permanent, fixed-term contract or agency).
    • A signed contract of employment.

    Both of which I will have to write myself (being director) and sign myself, I can put my ex-wife as the originator of the letters but I still think they will not accept it, any thought????
    Thanks Baz (and Jaz in Davao)

    I'd think you would probably need a letter from your Accountant who submits your annual accounts if you are a one man limited company. Others are more qualified than I to answer

    As well as sending your payslips, if you have a recent set of accounts made up then I would send them. Also include a letter from your account indicating your salary and dividends for the last few years.

    If you run your company like mine then the salary alone will not satisfy the new financial requirements, therefore adding the accountants letter will show your earnings are made up from dividends and salary.

    I also run my own Ltd Company and this is what I did a few years ago and had no problem in getting the visa.

    Are you a sole trader then ?

    Edit - Ignore that I thought as a Ltd Co you had to use a Chartered Accountant as I do but it turns out you can DIY

    Possibly worth changing your accountant too.

    Here's what UKBA require:-

    - Latest Notice to file a Company Tax Return – CT603 and Company Tax Return – CT600. Both parts must be supplied.

    - Organisation’s latest audited annual accounts with the name of the accountant clearly shown. The accountant must be a member of an accredited accounting body (CIMA, CIPFA, ACCA, ACA, etc).

    - Monthly corporate/business bank statements covering the same 12-month period as the tax return(s).

    - Monthly personal bank statements covering the same 12-month period as the tax return(s). These statements must show that the income from self-employment has been paid into the person’s account.

    - Evidence of ongoing self-employment: for self-employed persons, evidence of payment of Class 2 National Insurance contributions. For Directors, Current Appointment Reports from Companies House.

    Additionally One of the following documents must also be submitted:

    - Certificate of VAT registration and latest VAT return confirming VAT registration number if turnover in excess of £73,000.

    - Proof of ownership or lease of business premises.

    - Proof of registration with HMRC as an employer for the purposes of PAYE and National Insurance. Proof of PAYE Reference Number and Accounts Office

    - Reference Number. Evidence of registration must be original or certified copy of documentation issued by HMRC only.

    - Proof of registration with the London Stock Exchange or with an international stock exchange approved by the Financial Services Authority in the UK. This is a mandatory document for a company registered on the London Stock Exchange or an FSA-approved international stock exchange.

    You need to get an accountant. It is much better if you can ask them to look at the UKBA's page, that's what my fiancee's accountant did to help us. Good luck!
