A Sponsorship Licence opens up global talent acquisition opportunities for UK companies. When local recruitment falls short of filling crucial positions, this licence empowers your organisation to hire skilled professionals from around the world, ensuring your operations maintain peak productivity.
For international organisations, the licence offers valuable flexibility in workforce management. If your company operates branches or headquarters outside the UK, you can seamlessly transfer employees to your UK operations, facilitating knowledge sharing and organizational growth.

The Home Office fee for a sponsor licence varies depending on your organization size. Small businesses and charities pay £536, while medium/large companies pay £1,476.
