Fixed fee, published up front. We prepare and submit the application, build the Appendix A evidence pack, and set up the HR systems the Home Office will ask to see.
A sponsor licence lets a UK businessemploy someone from overseas on the Skilled Worker route. It is corporate licensing: the company applies to the Home Office to become an approved sponsor. It is not an individual’s visa application, and we don’t treat it like one.
Once the licence is granted, the business can assign Certificates of Sponsorship. The worker then applies for their own visa separately — that part is regulated individual advice, which we route to our IAA-registered partner Metropol Visa.
Answer eight questions. You get an honest yes, no, or not yet — and if it’s no, we tell you why rather than taking your money.
We tell you exactly which four documents you need from the Home Office’s Appendix A list, and we check them before they go anywhere.
We prepare and submit the application, and set up your HR systems so that if they visit, you pass.
The Home Office decides. Most licences are granted within eight weeks. Priority processing is available for an additional Home Office fee, subject to daily availability.
We can’t promise an outcome and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we can do is make sure the application isn’t refused for a reason that was avoidable.
Solicitors typically charge £2,000–£5,000 for the same work, billed hourly. We publish our fees because you shouldn’t have to ring someone to find out what something costs.
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.
Illustrative for a small sponsor with one worker for one year (our Essentials fee £1,200 + Home Office licence £611 + one year Immigration Skills Charge £480, plus the Certificate of Sponsorship fee). Your figure depends on your size and how many workers you sponsor. Home Office fees are set by UKVI and change; we confirm the current numbers in writing before you commit.
An overseas business setting up a UK footprint before it can trade. A different route with its own evidence — we handle both.
There's no formal appeal. You address the reason and reapply. We review what went wrong and rebuild the case properly.
Every sponsored worker's visa is at risk. This is urgent, and it's priced case by case. Tell us what's happened.
No. A sponsor licence application is made by your business, about your business — it isn't an immigration application by an individual, so it doesn't need a lawyer. What it needs is someone who knows what evidence the Home Office wants and how they read it. If your case involves a refusal, a revocation, or an appeal, we'll tell you to get a solicitor and help you find one.
Eight questions. No card, no call, no sales sequence you have to unsubscribe from. You’ll get a straight answer and a fee you can actually plan around.
