Hi Everyone, I'm seeking some advice and assistance. I'm interested in starting an import business in the UK, but I'm facing potential restrictions due to my visa (I'm not entirely sure about the specifics; I read about it online). I'm originally from India and have been living in the UK for the past three years. I have a strong understanding of clothing production and suppliers in India—one of my friends even owns a clothing brand there. My goal is to export clothing from India to the UK and sell it here, capitalizing on the exchange rate and lower labor costs to achieve a good profit margin. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding clear guidance on how to proceed. Could anyone offer some advice or would be interested in partnering on this venture?
