Sponsor Licence for Business: How to Apply in 4 Simple Steps
Tuesday 25th July 2023
📝 Are you a company looking to apply for a sponsor licence? Here is a step-by-step guide on how to navigate through the application process.
1. Gather your documents: As part of the application process, you need to submit a minimum of four specified supporting documents to demonstrate your trading presence in the UK. These documents may include financial statements, business bank statements, or lease agreements.
2. Alongside your supporting documents, providing a cover letter that gives the Home Office background information about your company is crucial. We can support you in highlighting your achievements, unique business background, and any relevant experience in employing foreign workers.
3. Prepare for potential compliance visits: The Home Office may conduct compliance visits to assess whether your company meets the sponsorship duties and compliance requirements. These visits can now take place online via platforms like Microsoft Teams or Zoom. If you do not have physical premises, an agreed location can be chosen for the compliance audit.
4. Strengthen your HR procedures: Our experienced team can assist with a mock audit of your HR processes, identifying any weaknesses and helping you develop an action plan to rectify them. This proactive approach will ensure you are fully prepared for the formal application and increase your chances of success.
