Starting Your Sponsor Licence Application?
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.

We can provide a detailed cost breakdown tailored to your situation.

Can my sponsor licence application be refused?
Yes, sponsor licence applications can be refused if they don't meet Home Office requirements.

Regular compliance audits are essential to protect your licence status.
Self-Sponsorship FAQ's
What exactly is self-sponsorship?
Self-sponsorship refers to an immigration route that enables foreign nationals to sponsor themselves to work through their own business, without needing a traditional employer. This process involves acquiring or establishing a UK-based company, which then applies to the UK Home Office for a sponsor licence. Once the company is approved as a sponsor, it can issue a Certificate of Sponsorship to the business owner, who then applies for a Skilled Worker visa

1. You must genuinely intend to establish or take over a business in the UK
2. You must be prepared to fund start-up and first year’s costs from £25,000.

4. You must possess transferable skills, qualifications, and experience relevant to the business in question.

The position meets minimum salary requirements (typically £38,700 or the “going rate” for the type of job')
