SPONSOR LICENCE IN LONDON AND THROUGHOUT UNITED KINGDOM
At Greater London Solicitors Limited, we are the Sponsor Licence and Home Office compliance specialists
What is a Sponsor Licence?
A sponsor licence is a licence allowing you to employ and sponsor non-UK nationals. Holding a sponsor licence is a legal requirement for businesses that wish to employ skilled migrant workers whether they are already in the UK or outside of the UK. The sponsor licence comes with ongoing compliance duties, including record-keeping, reporting changes to the Home Office, and ensuring that sponsored individuals meet visa conditions; all of which we will guide you through with our specialist team.
Obtaining and maintaining a sponsor licence demonstrates your commitment to legal and ethical recruitment practices, and enables your organisation to access a wider pool of global talent. Failure to comply with sponsor duties can result in suspension or revocation of the licence. Our expert team is here to help you to understand the rules so you do not face any consequences.
With a sponsor licence, you can give a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to a skilled worker you want to hire. They can then use this certificate to apply for a Skilled Worker Visa — and we’re here to guide and support them through that process too with our reliable services.
If you are considering applying for a sponsor licence or need advice on compliance, our team can guide you through the process and help ensure your ongoing obligations are met.
Greater London Solicitors Limited is a leading law firm specialising in sponsor licence applications and Home Office compliance. We are committed to helping businesses—whether newly established or long-standing—navigate the complexities of the UK’s immigration system with confidence and success.

We provide end-to-end support for all aspects of sponsor licence applications, including:
Checking If You’re Ready
We’ll look at your business to see if you're in a good position to apply for a sponsor licence. If there are any problems or things missing, we’ll let you know and help you fix them.
Putting Your Application Together
Our team will handle the paperwork. We make sure everything is filled out correctly and includes all the documents the Home Office needs.
Getting Your Documents Ready
We’ll help you gather and prepare the right documents—like HR policies and how you check employees have the right to work in the UK. Whether you’re a new business or have been around for years, we’ll make sure everything is up to standard and follows the rules.
Business Plan and Supporting Documentation
The Home Office often requires a detailed business plan, especially for start-ups or businesses seeking to sponsor workers for the first time. We work closely with you to draft, review, and refine your business plan, ensuring it addresses all key areas the Home Office expects.
Staying Compliant with Home Office Rules
We help make sure your HR systems and processes meet Home Office requirements. This lowers the risk of getting fined or losing your sponsor licence.

We guide you through your responsibilities as a sponsor, including how to check employees have the right to work and how to keep proper records. We also help create or improve your internal policies.

Immigration rules can change often. When you work with us, we’ll keep you updated on any changes that affect your business, so you always stay compliant.
