CS / Compliance & Audit

Keeping your sponsor licence is the hard part.

More sponsor licences were revoked in 2025 than in any year on record — and most weren’t fraud, they were paperwork. We audit you the way the Home Office would, then fix what we find.

sponsor licences revoked in 2025 — the highest in any year since records began

Getting the licence is the easy part.

Most sponsors we meet are non-compliant and don’t know it. Not because they’re cutting corners — because nobody told them that a missing right-to-work check, an unreported role change, or an out-of-date SMS record is enough to lose the licence.

Losing it means every sponsored worker’s visa is curtailed. It means a cooling-off period before you can reapply. For a lot of small businesses, it means the business.

What we check
Right-to-work checks — correct format, timing, retention
Sponsorship Management System — duties, key personnel
Migrant files — the twelve documents they'll ask for
Job roles — still matching the CoS and salary threshold
Absence and attendance records
Genuine vacancy evidence

We’ll tell you what the Home Office would find. Before they find it.
The engagement

Two ways to stay on the right side of it.

One-off

Mock audit

from £1,200

We run the Home Office's own audit against you and hand you a fix list — a written report of exactly what would fail a real compliance visit, and how to put it right.

Book a mock audit
Ongoing

Annual retainer

£1,200–£2,000 / yr

Ongoing compliance monitoring, reporting support, and a mock audit each year — so you don't drift out of compliance in the eighteen months after the licence is granted, which is where most sponsors come unstuck.

Talk to us about a retainer
Home Office fees are separate.

The Home Office charges £611 (small or charitable sponsors) or £1,682 (medium and large sponsors) for a sponsor licence, plus an Immigration Skills Charge per sponsored worker per year. These are paid directly to UKVI, not to us. You can apply yourself at gov.uk — our fee is for preparation, evidence review and compliance support. Fees change; we confirm the current figure in writing before you commit.

Process

How the audit works.

01

Book

You book a mock audit. We agree scope and gather the records the Home Office would ask to see.

02

We audit like the Home Office would

We run the same checks a compliance visit runs — right-to-work files, the SMS, migrant records, reporting duties, genuine-vacancy evidence.

03

Written report of what would fail

You get a clear, written report: what passes, what would fail a real visit, and how serious each gap is.

04

We help you fix it

We work through the fix list with you and get your systems right — before a real visit, not after.

Questions

Compliance, answered honestly.

Yes. That's exactly what a mock audit is. We don't need to have handled your original application. We come in, run the same checks a Home Office compliance visit runs, and give you a written report of where you stand and what to fix.

Find out what the Home Office would find. Before they do.

A mock audit is the cheapest way to keep a licence you’ve already paid for. We run the Home Office’s own checks against you and hand you a fix list — on your terms, not theirs.
