Nation better, helping inmigration
Offering small businesses a step-by-step, easy-to-follow guide to recruiting skilled migrant workers
After experiencing first-hand the bureaucratic travails of migrating to the UK for a consultancy job, Larisa Budaeva created Nation.better, a lawtech startup that streamlines the British immigration process.
The immigration process is inefficient, low-tech and high-cost. Often companies and individuals have to work with expensive immigration lawyers and agencies to secure a visa. With Britain leaving the EU, the complexity and scale of the issue is likely to grow. This leaves would-be migrants vulnerable to being uprooted, paying far more than they need to or missing out on opportunities.
The Home Office requirements for potential migrants are complex by design. Nation.better automatically translates the Home Office requirements to simply set out the documentation and data that each candidate, or sponsor, needs to provide. The process, centering the complex needs of migrants, is as automated and efficient as possible.
