One employer can appear more than once in this list: a single sponsor licence can cover several visa routes, and the register carries one entry per route — the same name on different routes is one employer, not a duplicate.

Found a sponsor? Here is what to do next
A licence only means the employer is allowed to sponsor — it is not a vacancy. The next step is a live job and a UK-ready application, and both start free:
How to check an employer, in three steps
- Search the employer. Type the company name — or just part of it — into the search above, and add its town or the visa route to narrow the list down.
- Check the route and rating. The entry must cover the visa you want (usually Skilled Worker), and an A rating means the sponsor is in good standing with the Home Office.
- Apply with a UK-ready CV. A licence only opens the door — you still have to win the job, and a UK-format CV is what UK recruiters expect to see.
Found a sponsor? Your next steps
Work through the list, note the employers licensed for your route, then put your application together — all of these are free:

FAQ
Sponsor licence questions, answered
01How do I check if a UK company can sponsor my visa?
Search the company's name in the list above. If it appears with the route you need — Skilled Worker for most jobs — the company held a sponsor licence for that route on the register date shown. A licence lets a company issue a Certificate of Sponsorship; it does not mean the company is hiring right now, or that it will sponsor any particular applicant, so always confirm with the employer before you apply.
02Is this sponsor list really free to use?
Yes. The register is published openly by the Home Office on GOV.UK, and this page republishes it with free search — no account, no payment, and no results held back. The underlying data is public; you should never have to pay just to look at it.
03What do the ratings mean — A rating, B rating, Premium?
An A rating means the sponsor is meeting all of its sponsorship duties. A B rating means UK Visas and Immigration has put the sponsor on an action plan to fix compliance problems, and a B-rated sponsor cannot take on new sponsored workers until it earns its A rating back. A (Premium) and A (SME+) are A ratings held by sponsors who pay for extra Home Office support services — for a jobseeker they count the same as any other A rating.
04How current is this list?
The register on this page is dated Nov 4, 2026 and the Home Office updates it on most working days; we refresh our copy regularly. Licences are suspended and revoked between updates, so for a decision that matters, confirm the employer's current status on GOV.UK as well.
05A company asked me to pay for my Certificate of Sponsorship. Is that normal?
No — treat it as a warning sign. Employers must not pass the sponsor licence fee or the Certificate of Sponsorship fee on to the worker, and a genuine sponsor never charges you for a CoS. Check the company against this list and GOV.UK before you send anyone money or documents.
