A Sponsor Licence is a legal requirement for any UK employer who wants to hire non-UK nationals under work visa routes. Without it, businesses cannot issue a Certificate of Sponsorship; essential for the employee’s visa process.

The UK Self Sponsorship Visa may be an appropriate option for anyone who wants to start and run their own business in the UK but does not have a UK sponsor. This procedure will allow you to obtain a sponsor licence for the company you establish. The firm can then sponsor you to travel to the UK on a skilled worker visa. Unlike the innovator visa, there is no minimum investment in the business.
