UK’s New Founder Innovator Visa Program is “Not Scalable” And Will See “Serious Bottlenecks”
“We don’t anticipate any truly scalable offerings in the future here in the UK,” said veteran UK investment migration provider Eric Major.
Eric is one of the pioneers of the investment migration industry. He has spent 25 years helping private clients to relocate around the world and advising governments on the creation of successful investment programmes.
As the former CEO of Henley & Partners, Eric presided over the firm’s impressive growth between 2011-2016, overseeing the opening of over 20 offices and the launch of four new programmes, including the Malta Individual Investor Programme.
Between 1997-2011 Eric was the founder and Managing Director of HSBC’s Global Investor Immigration Services, where he and his team raised over USD 2 billion investment capital and facilitated the successful immigration of more than 5,000 families to Canada and the UK.
