Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence Support
Need a Home Office sponsor licence to recruit skilled workers?
UK Visa Plan provides practical sponsor licence support for UK employers, helping businesses prepare the application, organise the required supporting documents and put appropriate sponsorship systems and key personnel arrangements in place.
We help you approach the sponsor licence application in a clear, organised and practical way.
We can also carry out Sponsor Licence Compliance Checks - Mock Audits for Employers already employing Skilled Workers under a Sponsor Licence.
Is a Sponsor Licence right for your business?
A sponsor licence allows an eligible UK employer to sponsor workers on relevant immigration routes, including the Skilled Worker route.
The application involves more than completing an online form. Employers need to consider the type of licence required, whether the roles they intend to sponsor are suitable, who will manage the licence and whether the business has appropriate systems in place to meet its sponsor responsibilities.
UK Visa Plan can help you prepare these practical elements before the sponsor licence application is submitted.
UK Visa Plan can carry out an initial feasibility review covering your business, and the planned work-role, before you decide whether to proceed with a full Sponsor Licence application.

Our Sponsor Licence Service
Initial Sponsor Licence Feasibility Review — £250
We first review the business, the proposed role or recruitment plans and the available evidence. This allows us to identify obvious eligibility or compliance issues before you incur the cost of preparing a full sponsor licence application.
If the business is suitable to proceed, we can provide a separate application preparation and support service. The scope and fee will be confirmed before any further work begins, but total fees start from £1500 depending on complexity.
Depending on your business and the application, our sponsor licence support can include:
- preparing the sponsor licence application;
- identifying and organising supporting documents;
- checking the information required about the business;
- preparing key personnel information;
- helping establish appropriate HR, sponsorship and record-keeping systems;
- preparing supporting explanations and business information where required; and
- helping you work through the practical application process.
