Renewal applications, accounting to produce statements that support the continuing conditions, legal review whenever the business changes substantively, and any charges for employee applications. Government fees should be taken from the current published schedule. The business itself may also need additional capital to remain more than marginal.
This classification has a running cost
The purchase price dominates the initial budget and then a series of recurring costs appears. Renewals come round on their own cycle and each is a full application supported by current evidence, so accounting and legal time recur with them. Where the enterprise changes, a legal review is needed at the time.
Where employees are brought down under the treaty enterprise, each application is separate and carries its own charges and preparation. Government fees should always be confirmed on the current published schedule rather than carried over from a previous application. Beyond the immigration budget sits a commercial one that is easy to overlook: if the business must remain more than marginal, it may need investment to grow, and a relocation that costs customers may require capital to replace them.
Households that build a five-year budget including renewals and contingencies rarely face the worst version of this.
