New Horizons
Business Innovation & Investment

For founders building value — not just revenue.

A pathway designed for entrepreneurs, innovators and business owners whose track record can withstand financial, legal and commercial scrutiny.

Evidence, not just ideas.

The Business Innovation pathway is built for individuals who have demonstrated the ability to create, manage and grow businesses — and who can bring that value to Australia.

It is not a pathway for ideas alone. It is a pathway for people with evidence: commercial performance, genuine ownership, compliant structures, and a credible plan for future activity.

Our role is to strengthen your commercial story, validate the numbers behind it, and present a migration case that aligns seamlessly with the legislation and policy framework.

Who this pathway is for

  • Founders and business owners with proven commercial history
  • Investors managing substantial assets or business interests
  • Applicants with credible business traction and future plans
  • Individuals capable of meeting turnover, asset and ownership thresholds
  • Entrepreneurs with innovation-driven ventures
  • Families relocating business operations or expanding into Australia

Common Challenges

  • Complex ownership structures across multiple entities
  • Inconsistent financial records or tax documents
  • Businesses with fluctuating turnover
  • Asset positions that require detailed explanation
  • Transactions that need clarifying for source-of-funds
  • Weak business plans lacking commercial evidence
  • Strong businesses with poorly documented achievements

What the Department looks for.

Real businesses. Real revenue. Defensible records.

Genuine commercial activity

Real businesses, real customers, real revenue — supported by defensible records.

Ownership and control

Clear evidence of your stake, decision-making authority and operational involvement.

Business performance

Turnover, profitability, asset positions and long-term sustainability — measured through credible financials.

Source of funds

Transparent, traceable capital flows. No unexplained assets, no unclear transactions.

Future activity

A plan for Australia that is realistic, evidence-backed and economically meaningful.

Our Methodology

The Forensic Review.

We structure your case so that your business story reads like a commercial blueprint, not a collection of documents.

01

Full Commercial Audit

We review your businesses, structures, markets, financials, asset positions and compliance history. We identify strengths — and weaknesses — early.

02

Evidence Architecture

Corporate records, financial statements, tax documents, shareholder registers, contracts, valuations — every document must align with your narrative.

03

Source of Funds Tracing

A forensic, step-by-step review of capital movement to demonstrate legitimacy, transparency and compliance.

04

Business Plan Strategy

We develop a commercial narrative that is cohesive, realistic and aligned with Australian industry standards and opportunities.

05

Legal Submissions

We prepare detailed submissions linking your evidence to the statutory criteria, ensuring decision-makers can follow the logic immediately.

Why business pathways require precision.

Business Innovation applications are assessed with a high degree of scrutiny. Decision-makers will evaluate financial integrity, business legitimacy, commercial value, and risk exposure. A strong founder does not automatically equal a strong case. What matters is how the evidence connects — clearly, coherently and lawfully.

Your profile may be suitable if:

You own or control a successful business
Your turnover and assets meet relevant thresholds
You can evidence the source and movement of funds
You demonstrate a pattern of growth or innovation
You have a realistic plan for activity in Australia
You can provide full documentation from reputable sources

Begin with clarity.

Your future deserves more than a form filler. It deserves a strategist.
