 The UK Immigrant Investor Program was created by the UK Government in 1994 to attract high net worth individuals and their families to immigrate by making a substantial investment in the UK. For many high net worth individuals, the “Investor” category is the option they decide to pursue.

Your assets may not be readily available to you as cash, or converting them to cash may not be the best financial decision for you. We are able to help arrange a financing service through a Major UK-based Investment Bank to help you meet the investment requirements of the UK Government's Investor Program.
For example, you would remit approximately £170,000-£200,000 (depending on prevailing interest rates and loan conditions) to the bank. Upon approval of your initial immigration application by the UK Home Office, they would grant a loan which you would then use to make your investment. This would fulfill the government requirement of £1,000,000 invested in the UK investor program.

Like most countries the UK welcomes wealthy individuals. As an investor in the economy, you and your immediate family can gain UK permanent residence by satisfying the following criteria:
- Have money of your own under your control in the United Kingdom amounting to no less than £1 million (commonly referred to as Full Cash Option).
or
- Own personal assets which have a value exceeding £2 million, taking into account any liabilities to which you are subject, and have money under your control in the United Kingdom amounting to no less than £1 million. This may include money loaned to you provided that it is loaned by a financial institution regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority (commonly referred to as Financed Option). Most clients choose to finance the required amount. Arton Capital is able to help you arrange these loans which are secured with the UK Gilt;
- You must invest not less than £750,000 of your capital in the United Kingdom by way of United Kingdom Government bonds, share capital or loan capital in active and trading United Kingdom registered companies (other than those principally engaged in property investment and excluding deposits with a bank, building society or other enterprise whose normal course of business includes the acceptance of deposits);
- If you had chosen the Full Cash Option, the remaining £250,000 may be invested as you wish. However, for the Financed Option, the entire £1 million must be invested in United Kingdom Government bonds.
