This is genuinely joined-up support, not siloed advice.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a sponsor licence to hire someone from outside the UK?
In most cases, yes. If you want to employ a worker who is not a British or Irish citizen, an EU or EEA national with settled or pre-settled status, or a person who already holds a visa permitting them to work for you, you will generally need a sponsor licence before that person can apply for a work visa. There are limited exceptions, and our team can advise on whether any apply to your particular situation.
What are my ongoing obligations as a sponsor?
Once you hold a licence, you are required to monitor your sponsored workers, report specified events to UKVI within set timeframes, keep accurate records on the Sponsor Management System and maintain HR processes that meet Home Office standards. Our compliance audit and training service helps employers stay on top of these obligations as the rules develop.
We already have a sponsor licence. Can you still help us?
Absolutely. Many businesses come to us after holding a licence for some time and want confidence that their processes are fully compliant. Our compliance audit service reviews your existing approach, identifies any areas of risk and provides practical recommendations. We can also take on ongoing management of your Sponsor Management System as Level One Users if that would benefit your team.
