Search all 127,686 organisations on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors. Register dated 6 November 2026.
The organisation holds an A-rated licence. It can assign certificates of sponsorship, the document you need to apply for a work visa.
The Home Office has downgraded the licence, usually after a compliance problem. The employer can't assign new certificates until it is back to an A rating.
No licence under that name. Search a shorter part of the name, since the register uses the legal company name, which can differ from the brand you know.
No. It means they are allowed to. Whether they sponsor depends on the role. The job must also meet the visa rules, including an eligible occupation and the minimum salary. Ask the employer directly.
The Home Office Register of licensed sponsors: workers, published every working day, and the free Companies House company data, published monthly.
It is when the company was set up at Companies House, not when it got its sponsor licence. The Home Office doesn't publish licence dates or how many workers a company has sponsored.
Companies House records are matched by company name, which works for about 4 in 5 sponsors. Charities, NHS bodies, sole traders and businesses trading under another name often have no match. Open the Companies House record to confirm.
