"If your business has a sponsor licence then you take on additional obligations to the Home Office. Two of the most important duties are reporting relevant information about sponsored workers and ensuring that your sponsor licence is up to date.

The Home Office can carry out compliance visits with little or no advanced notice operate. They operate a ‘light trigger’ approach to non-compliance and can revoke your licence if they find that you have not complied with your duties. This can have serious consequences for your business, including the loss of essential employees.

We find that many companies, particularly around the time of Sponsor Licence renewal, like to review their systems to ensure that they remain compliant with these complex rules.

An interactive sponsor licence audit will give you peace of mind knowing that your licence is up to date. If changes are required, it is always better to make these proactively rather than waiting until the Home Office find out. It shows that you take your duties seriously and that you are taking active steps to meet them. If there are significant issues to address, then we can provide further strategic advice on how best to deal with them.

Why not talk to us about your Sponsor Licence renewal and how our SMS MOT service can give you peace of mind? "

How we work - including our transparent pricing

We find that our 3 stage system of working with clients gives everyone the greatest clarity on what can be achieved, how it will happen and how much it will cost.

Assess

£0

Before we take on a case we always want to establish what the right kind of application is for you and this is what the Assess Stage is all about.

We find out more about you and what you want to achieve. It is an informal discussion which can be delivered how you want it, whether that is over the phone, using video conferencing or at our easily accessible office - it is entirely your choice.

This stage is completely free and there is no obligation to take on our paid services. At the end of the Assess Stage you will have a clear plan as to the range of applications available, the costs involved and how likely you are to get a successful outcome.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Want more information about this type of application?

I worked closely with OTB Legal who were helping a multi-national company carry out a sponsor licence compliance audit. I was very impressed with their comprehensive understanding of Home Office systems and procedures. More importantly, they were very easy to work with and struck an excellent balance between the constraints of the rules and pragmatism.
