I'm a UK citizen, so I'm wondering if I do this, would I then be able to qualify for a visa to live and work in the US?

  No, not directly. Briefly, your two best options probably include E-1 (treaty trader) and E-2 (treaty investor). Both come with their issues and restrictions, but they're a common path so long as you either have substantial trade between your home country and the US, or have a certain amount to invest in a US business (generally north of $200k, although this isn't technically a hard requirement). Have a read through the notes to the relevant sections of 9 FAM.
