ABOUT THIS SERVICE

Our Sponsor Licence Services

Our specialist immigration lawyers help UK employers of all sizes apply for and manage Sponsor Licences, enabling them to sponsor overseas workers under the Skilled Worker route.

The first step is obtaining a Sponsor Licence from the Home Office. We guide you through the eligibility requirements and help identify any potential issues before your application is submitted.

Our team will create a tailored action plan to make sure your business is sponsor-ready. This includes advice on HR systems, record keeping, right-to-work processes and the ongoing compliance duties that come with holding a Sponsor Licence.

We will prepare the application, advise on the most appropriate supporting documents and guide you through the submission process from start to finish. Our aim is to make what can appear to be a complex process as straightforward as possible.

Our Sponsor Licence lawyers will manage your application throughout, helping you respond to any Home Office queries and preparing your business for the possibility of a compliance check.

In many cases, we are also able to offer a money-back guarantee if your Sponsor Licence application is not successful, subject to our terms and eligibility criteria.

We work with businesses across a wide range of sectors, including:

  • Oil & Gas
  • Technology, IT & Software
