How can Indian investors invest in the UK's health sector under the Tier 1 Investor visa program?

I run a healthcare start up in New Delhi and I'm looking to explore the UK market. Recently India and the UK agreed on a trade treaty that is expected to give a boost to tech and healthcare initiatives on both sides. Given this backdrop, what options would you advise me?

You may want to consider the sole representative visa, if you meet the requirements, and you can open a branch of your healthcare business in the UK, although you cannot be a majority shareholder under this visa route. Under the Tier 1 investor visa, part of the requirements are that you would need to invest at least 2 million British pounds for 5 years by way of share capital, or loan capital in active and trading UK registered company which could be in the healthcare sector.
