The Background
Nigerian couple in the UK who needed a business for visa renewal and found a team that cared more about their long term success than closing a quick deal
Cynthia and her husband sought a business for visa renewal, not entrepreneurship. Their solicitor advised that owning a business could help them stay legally in the UK. It was about survival, not opportunity.
Shockingly, TrendHijacking refused to sell them a business just for visa purposes. They rejected deals that seemed perfect, including one their solicitor favored and one Cynthia loved, because they wouldn’t survive six months. TrendHijacking prioritized long-term stability over quick deals.
After nine frustrating weeks of rejections, they found a healthy business with strong margins and low complexity that Cynthia could manage from home.
Now, she runs a viable business, not just a visa placeholder. For the first time in years, their future in the UK feels secure, independent of agencies or solicitors.

"Hi, my name is Cynthia Adeyemi. My husband and I are Nigerian, and we've been living in the UK for a few years now. And... I'm going to be completely transparent, the reason we even started looking for a business to buy was because of our visa renewal."
Cynthia speaks calmly, but there's weight behind her words. This wasn't just an investment decision. It was about their future in the UK.
"For our solicitor, owning and managing a business was one of the options available to us. So it wasn't just about financial opportunity. It was about stability. Staying here legally. Building a future."
She nods slowly.
"But here's the part I really appreciate about TrendHijacking: They refused to let us buy a business just because it would help with our visa."
They Said No, Even When It Would Have Helped
"They told us from day one: 'If the business doesn't make financial sense, we won't let you touch it, even if it helps your immigration pathway.'"
Cynthia exhales a small laugh.
"And trust me... I didn't expect that. I've dealt with enough agencies in the UK to know most people will take your money and look away. TrendHijacking did the opposite."
This is what separates TrendHijacking from every other business acquisition firm, immigration consultant, or broker looking to close a deal.
They weren't optimizing for speed. They were optimizing for success.
And that meant saying no, a lot.
The 9-Week Journey (And Why It Took So Long)
"It took us nine full weeks to buy a business. And that wasn't because there were no businesses available, it was because TrendHijacking kept rejecting them."
"They rejected ones that looked perfect on paper. They rejected one that our solicitor thought was 'ideal.' They rejected one I personally loved."
For Cynthia and her husband, this was frustrating. They had immigration deadlines. They needed to move forward.
But TrendHijacking refused to compromise.
"They kept saying the same thing:
'Yes, this business would check your visa box, but it won't survive the next six months.'
'This one is profitable but unstable, too risky.'
'This one will drain your savings, not build them.'"
"I won't lie, I got frustrated. We needed something urgently. But looking back now, I thank God they stood their ground."
Finally Finding the Right One
"Week nine... we finally got one. A business that wasn't just 'visa compliant,' but truly healthy. Strong margins, low operational complexity, and something I could actually manage from home while my husband continues working full-time."
This wasn't just a business that checked immigration boxes. It was a business that could actually sustain their life in the UK.
"Their negotiation team was brilliant. They got the seller to include systems, SOPs, and even helped transition the staff properly so I wasn't thrown into chaos on day one."
Cynthia didn't just inherit a business. She inherited infrastructure, the systems, the people, the processes that make ownership manageable.
What Her Role Looks Like Today
"I work from home now, and I really mean that. I run the business around my schedule. TrendHijacking taught me the operational side, set up the structure, trained the team, and showed me what to focus on."
Cynthia isn't working 60-hour weeks trying to figure it out. She's managing a business that was set up correctly from day one.
"My husband still works full-time. This business is my thing, and it's manageable."
This is what good acquisition looks like. It fits into your life. It doesn't consume it.
What She Respects Most
"What I respect most is this:
TrendHijacking cared more about the business being stable than about the visa outcome.
They cared more about protecting us than rushing us.
They cared more about long-term success than getting a quick deal through."
This is rare. Most people in TrendHijacking's position would have pushed Cynthia and her husband into the first deal that satisfied immigration requirements.
But TrendHijacking understood something most brokers and consultants don't: a bad business ruins lives, even if it checks legal boxes.
"In the end, we got both, the immigration solution and a business that actually works."
Final Thoughts: Truth Over Speed
"If you're looking for people who will tell you what you want to hear, there are many services out there for that. But if you want people who will tell you the truth even when it slows the process down, TrendHijacking is the only team I'd recommend."
"It took longer than we hoped... but now I'm running a real business, we're stable, and for the first time in years, I feel like our future here is in our own hands."
