Sponsorship License

If your business wants to hire talent from outside the UK, you will need a Sponsorship Licence issued by the Home Office before you can employ them. Without one, you cannot assign a Certificate of Sponsorship, and your candidate cannot apply for a work visa. The application process involves strict eligibility checks, document requirements and ongoing compliance obligations. We guide businesses through every stage of the process, from initial eligibility assessment to submission and beyond.

Indefinite Leave to Remain
