La Vida Recognised in Financial Times Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions 2027

La Vida Golden Visas has been named as one of Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions 2027 by the Financial Times and Statista, recognising the company’s sustained revenue growth over the past decade.

The latest recognition adds to La Vida’s established record in the Financial Times rankings, following five consecutive appearances in the FT1000: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies between 2020 and 2024, and its inclusion in the inaugural Long-Term Growth Champions ranking in 2025.

The award is particularly significant for La Vida, which has operated in the investment migration industry since 2012. Throughout this period the industry has seen considerable shifts in consumer demand across global markets combined with supply changes from government programs. La Vida has adapted and evolved to meet the challenges and opportunities throughout this time.

Recognising a Decade of Sustained Growth

Produced by the Financial Times in partnership with global data and research company Statista, Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions identifies European businesses that have achieved exceptional revenue growth over a ten-year period.

The 2027 list comprises just 300 companies across Europe, including 46 based in the UK. 11 companies were named in the Professional, Scientific & Technical Services category of which just two are UK-based, including La Vida.

The ranking assesses company revenue growth between 2015 and 2025, focusing on businesses that have expanded primarily through organic growth.

Unlike the annual FT1000 ranking, which measures growth over three years, the Long-Term Growth Champions ranking examines performance over a full decade, recognising companies that have maintained growth over a considerably longer period.

Building a Business for the Long Term

Since 2012, La Vida has expanded its international reach, advising investors and families from more than 160 countries on residency and citizenship by investment programs. Through its established goldenvisas.com platform, the company has built a strong global presence, supported by an extensive network of legal specialists, developers and investment partners across multiple jurisdictions. Despite its international reach, La Vida continues to serve its global client base under one roof at it’s London headquarters.

La Vida’s expansion has taken place during a period of significant industry change, with new investment routes opening, others closing, and international demand continuing to rise. According to the company’s own Golden Visa Index, global search demand for investment migration increased more than sevenfold between 2016 and 2025, representing compound annual growth of 24.7%.

Commenting on the latest recognition, Paul Williams, Founder and CEO of La Vida, said:

“Growth over one or two years is one thing. Sustaining it over a decade is a much greater achievement, particularly in an industry that has changed as much as ours.

Since founding La Vida and then establishing ourselves in the investment migration space in 2012, we’ve focused on building a business that clients can rely on for the long term. Investment migration involves significant financial and personal decisions, and the strength and experience of the company advising you really matter.

I’m particularly proud of the team we’ve built, including colleagues who have been with us for many years. This recognition reflects their commitment, the relationships we’ve developed with our partners worldwide, and the trust our clients continue to place in us.”

A Continued Record of Financial Times Recognition

La Vida’s latest inclusion builds on a series of independent business growth recognitions:

• 2020–2024: Five consecutive appearances in the Financial Times FT1000: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies.
• 2025: Named in the inaugural Financial Times and Statista Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions ranking.
• 2027: Recognised again in Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions for sustained revenue growth over ten years.

For investors considering residency or citizenship by investment, selecting an established adviser is an important part of the process. Applications can involve substantial capital commitments, multiple jurisdictions and ongoing administrative requirements.

La Vida’s long-standing presence in the sector, combined with its independently recognised business growth, reinforces its position as an established international investment migration consultancy.

The company extends its thanks to its clients, employees and international partners who have contributed to its continued success.
