How important is the language requirement when applying for the UK Innovator Visa?

I've heard that a lot of people are getting the UK Innovator Visa these days. As a successful entrepreneur from China, I'm a little worried about my English skills. How important is the language requirement for this visa?

    English language is a very important requirement, without it your application for the visa most likely will be unsuccessful. Please refer to the official government website: https://www.gov.uk/innovator-visa/knowledge-of-english.

    English language is a requirement of the Innovator rules and you must be able to read, write, speak and understand it at level B2. You can take a Secure English Language Test (SELT) from an approved provider for this unless you have other qualifications that would be accepted under the rules; there is a specified list of accepted qualifications.
