We provide a full range of business immigration support, including sponsor licence applications, Skilled Worker and Innovator Founder visas, intra-company transfers, business visitor and expansion visas, sponsor licence renewals, compliance health checks, and ongoing legal advice for employers and entrepreneurs.
If your business wants to hire skilled workers from outside the UK, you must apply for a Home Office sponsor licence. We guide you through every step – from preparing your application to meeting ongoing compliance duties and avoiding common mistakes.
Applications can be refused or suspended for incomplete paperwork, failing to show genuine business needs, inadequate HR systems, or compliance breaches. We will review your processes and paperwork to help prevent these issues and support you with appeals if needed.
Typical Skilled Worker visa applications are processed in three to eight weeks, depending on the applicant’s circumstances and the Home Office’s caseload. We help prepare complete applications and can advise on faster processing options if you need a quick hire.
Sponsors must keep accurate records, report certain changes, follow right-to-work procedures, and notify the Home Office of relevant employee changes. Our ongoing compliance service helps you stay on track and avoid penalties.
Yes. We help businesses respond to audits, fix compliance failures, and appeal licence downgrades or suspensions—so you can retain your ability to sponsor staff.
The Innovator Founder visa is designed for entrepreneurs bringing a new, innovative business to the UK. We guide you through the business plan, approval process, and Home Office application, plus ongoing compliance once you are in the country.
If a visa is refused, we can review the decision, advise on reapplying, or file an appeal where appropriate. We’ll also help you with contingency options so your business can keep running smoothly.
Absolutely. We offer retainer packages, annual reviews, and proactive reminders, taking the stress out of renewals, audits, and process changes for all your sponsored employees.
