Also children under the age of 18 can obtain free education in the UK.

No requirements in regards to the investor's education, age, nationality, language pro ciency, or business experience. You need to invest a minimum of 2 million. There is no requirement for how many full time jobs you must create. Further more, if you invest 2 million in UK government bonds, share or loan capital in active and trading UK-registered companies, there is no need to hire any workers.
