[@okeazigbo9366]

Thank you so much for all that you do. You are an amazing person. My question is in regards to your the HR system you mentioned in your “How to apply for sponsor license in Uk” please can you shed more light on what is meant by this and is there a template or recommended package provider.

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

What the UKVI looks for in an HR System Record-keeping: Secure storage of employee details, contracts, right to work checks, and visa documents. Resident Labour Market Testing (RLMT): Evidence you've advertised the role and no suitable settled worker was found. Preventing illegal working: Processes to ensure sponsored workers only work for your company and within their visa limitations. Reporting: Timely reporting of changes in employment status, absences, or visa renewals to UKVI. Fulfilling these requirements doesn't require a specific HR software package. You can achieve this with a well-organized paper-based system or use HR software with features that support sponsor management.

[@okeazigbo9366]

@@UKknowledgeGuru thank you very much!

[@joapaucastaneda3953]

Very informative video! I wonder where to send the supporting documents? After payment, will there be an instruction on which UKVI email address should be used to send the supporting documents?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

You will get the email address as soon you submit your application. There is a guidance from the Home Office regarding the Most Important Documents you need to submit kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOQd6dsha6KZtk. And there is a 66 pages Home Office guidance on which the Visa Officer decides to issue the sponsor licence or refuse kzbin.info/www/bejne/naK6hpeZiMqFa9E. The guidance page 6 says "You should read all parts of the guidance to ensure that you understand your duties and responsibilities as a licensed sponsor."

[@hozathekill]

Great Video , In your experience what is the acceptance percentage for a completly new company. Started and owned by the same person that will be sponsored from outside the UK ? Given that for sure there is a UK citizen auothrised manager , and the steps you recommended is all done .

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Firstly, you need to understand this that you can't apply for the sponsor lic for a new company from outside the UK, even if you appoint key person a British Citizen as in this route you can't self sponsor yourself. There is a route which is known as UK Expansion Worker Visa, in which you get the visa that allow you to come to the UK to expand your company in the UK and then you apply sponsor lic (via Key Authorised person who is British Citizen) and issue your CoS. Here is the complete guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/iquXfWlrd6lniNE Another option is UK Innovator Founder Visa route kzbin.info/www/bejne/moCrd3qfatalnqc You need a New Business Idea and this is the quickest route to get the Settlement in the UK.

[@ashwinrakav]

Great video and just a question, should the comapny be registered with HMRC as an Limited company to get a sponser licence or it can also be under a sole trader company?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

To get a sponsor licence, a company must be registered with HMRC as an Limited company. This is because a sole trader company is not considered to be a separate legal entity from the individual owner. As a result, the UK government cannot be sure that the individual owner will have the resources to support a sponsored worker if the company were to fail. In addition, sole trader companies are not subject to the same financial reporting requirements as limited companies. This makes it more difficult for UKVI to assess the financial viability of a sole trader company. Before you apply do check the Home Office guidance for the Most Important Documents you need for Sponsor Licence kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOQd6dsha6KZtk AND 66 pages Guidance which Visa Officer use to approve or refuse the Licence kzbin.info/www/bejne/naK6hpeZiMqFa9E

[@strictostrict]

This is amazing. Very detailed. Im in the middle of setting up a recruitment agency for healthcare. Will it be challenging to apply for this licence as i haven't started trading?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

No, it won't be difficult if your business is genuine. But just for your info, Home Office guidance clearly says Recruitment company can only sponsor staff for its own company not for other companies. Here is the complete Home Office guide on this topic, I know its long 66 pages but worth it and its most important part to know. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naK6hpeZiMqFa9E

[@tanvychowdhury9013]

Great video... God bless u. If the restaurant business is in loss for a year. And we need skilled workers to get it in profit then can we apply for a sponsor license? We have a corporate bank account in Tide. It's not a registered bank. Will 12 month statement of TIDE good for application? Or we need a high street bank ? We have submitted signed accounts last year as well. We have a three start Rankin from score on the Door. Are we good ?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

While a loss for a year isn't ideal, it doesn't automatically disqualify you. However, the UK Vis and Immigration (UKVI) will assess your financial viability. Having a clear plan demonstrating how the skilled worker will contribute to profitability is crucial. Show projections and strategies to improve the business. The UKVI prefers statements from a reputable high-street bank. While Tide statements might be accepted, consult an immigration lawyer to confirm its validity for your application. Signed accounts from a registered accountant can strengthen your case.

[@syedasim15]

Hi, Thanks for the informative video. Is there any requirement of minimum revenue generated by company applying for sponsor license ? and if company is in operation for only last 3,4 months with around 8-10k revenue?

Just replied on the previous comment

[@VallynYldrm-lh3ld]

Nice sharing, by the way how long is company sponsor application will take?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Most applications are dealt with in less than 8 weeks. UKVI may need to visit your business.You may be able to pay an extra £500 to get a decision within 10 working days.

Ya sure, send me an email at [e-mail] and do mention what do you need as I get far too many emails. Also if you planning to apply then do watch the most important documents you need and the 66 pages Home Office Guidance which Home Office Officer use to decide to issue the licence or reject. Its all self explanatory, one you know the rule then you will be professional to apply yourself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naK6hpeZiMqFa9E kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOQd6dsha6KZtk

[@bizlagos3928]

Hello Sir. Thanks for sharing this information and I hope it's still valid at the time of this comment. I have questions and one of it is been asked my another commenter but he's yet to get an answer. My team recently incorporated our company in the UK. We are 3 founders and 1 of us is a Brit and a London resident and the rest of us are non UK resident. The issue now is that, the Brit among us wants the rest of us to be physically active in the business operations bcos our remote commitment isn't doing justice to our partnership. 1. How do we go about relocation. Can our third founder who is a UK citizen and resident serve the purpose of all the necessary role that requires hiring a Brit company staff? 2. How old should our company be before we'd be eligible for the self sponsor route (I learned there's nothing like self sponsorship visa, that it's a route that combines "sponsor license and skilled worker visa"). Kindly shed more light on this matter. Thank you.

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

For your first question: Yes, the business partner who is British National can apply for Sponsor Licence and then he can issue you the sponsor visa - skilled worker visa. But the company needs to justify the Home Office that there is a genuine need for the job role. For your second question: Self Sponsor Idea is for the UK Expansion Worker Visa. When you already got the running company outside the UK and wanted to expand it in the UK. The most important condition for that, the company should not be already registered in the UK and genuinely seeking an expansion. How Old : The company which is currently registered in the UK and submitted the last Tax return & making profit (adequate current assets) in order to afford more employees, proving genuine running business, will be mandatory requirements to apply for the Sponsor Lic.

Dear Sir, I has been working for a restaurant for last three months as a part time employee with 16-20 hours per week. Last week they promote me as Restaurant Manager with full time employment (37.5 hours). I am not sure how much salary I have to show for 1223 code as Restaurant Manager. In occupational code it’s showing 10.05 per hour and yearly 19600 GBP. My confusion is it’s less than minimum salary. Can you tell me how much minimum salary should I show for eligibility to apply for tier 2 sponsorship visa please. Thanks in advance!

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Do they have licence to Sponsor you ? According to Gov. UK ONS tool. It says this 1223 Restaurant and catering establishment managers and proprietors Café owner Fish & chip shopkeeper Operations manager (catering) Restaurant manager Shop manager (take-away food shop) £19,600 (£10.05 per hour) So, if its mentioned this on gov.uk website then your knowledge is correct.

Do you know whether it is compulsory to work any specific working hours for a week to get sponsorship

Can you pls clarify, what do you mean by "to get sponsorship". For sponsorship Licence you need a running business and to get the Skilled Worker Visa which is issues by the Sponsor also known as Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), yes you need to earn certain amount as per the Job Occupation Code. Watch this guide and in this I have explained how to access the Job Occupational Code. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXrdiIV4f6ZrfKs

[@syedasim15]

Hi, Two quick question please 1)Do we need to add British national as a company director and/or authorizing officer for a company who is applying for a sponsor license 2) Can we add British national brother or sister as our company director/ Authorizing Officer

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Adding a British national as a company director and/or authorizing officer is not mandatory for a company applying for a sponsor licence. However, there are some potential benefits to doing so: Easier application process: Having a British national director or authorizing officer may streamline the application process, as it demonstrates a connection to the UK and potentially reduces concerns about genuine sponsorship intentions. Compliance with sponsor duties: British nationals may be more familiar with UK immigration regulations and sponsor duties, making them potentially better suited to fulfilling these responsibilities. Adding a British national brother or sister as a company director or authorizing officer is generally not recommended. While it's technically possible, there are potential concerns about conflicts of interest and genuine sponsorship practices

[@jayplays9976]

How much does it cost to get an Authorising officer? Do they have to be part of my company or I can outsource my Sponsorship License Management to an external firm?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Yes, they have to be the part of the company. Its like they will be taking responsibility while submit the Sponsor Lic application to Home Office, its basically you hiring someone in your company who is British National to look after the operations.

[@asmrrelaxing6139]

Very nice and informative video. Kindly tell if someone is british national he want to start a business for sponsorship license. How much minimum money he required and how much time will spend in all this process. Thanks in advance.

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

If you start a new business then at least one HMRC tax returns would be necessary to proof that business is making enough money to afford employees. As each employee you sponsor you need to pay salary. For example: you start business in Oct 2023 and do tax returns in April 2024 and apply lic in May 2024. And business revenue is equal to employee salary you wanted to sponsor then that wont justify the case. Home Office don't stop applying for the lic as you end up paying fees for it, its more about justifying the job which is created is really needed & genuine and business can afford.

Can a person on psw running a homebased clothing business already , started almost a month ago , can register the boutique on her own name and apply for sponsor license ? Do I need business to be old ? Do I need to have a shop or showroom

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

First Question is : if you on PSW then are you planning to self sponsor yourself ? If new business then You also need some important documents to apply sponsor lic, here is the guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOQd6dsha6KZtk As you can't apply for the sponsor Lic if you hold PSW. A British Citizen can only apply for the Sponsor Licence. There is a self Sponsor route known as UK Expansion Worker Visa, in which you get the Visa to stay in the UK to expand your or someone business in the UK and then you apply for the Sponsor Licence and issue certificate of sponsorship to work in the UK. Here is the guide : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iquXfWlrd6lniNE

[@amritpalkaur34]

Thank you , if i register the company on my name and recruit a brit to apply for license? Can I then sponser myself from my own company? The brit we hire should be salaried by us ?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

You need to appoint people within your business to manage the sponsorship process when you apply for a licence. The roles are: authorising officer - a senior and competent person responsible for the actions of staff and representatives who use the SMS key contact - your main point of contact with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) level 1 user - responsible for all day-to-day management of your licence using the SMS These roles can be filled by the same person or different people. You can also appoint an optional level 2 user once you have your licence. This is an SMS user with more restricted access than a level 1 user, for example they cannot withdraw a certificate of sponsorship.

[@amritpalkaur34]

So basically there is no issue if I will be the owner and the skilled worker employee of the company at the same time ? And the authorising officer should be paid minimum what amount of salary? Do we need to show all that we ars paying to authorising officer ? Or any random British citizen can be appointed?

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

As per Home Office Sponsor Guidance page 22 of 66 Section L4.9 Subject to the exception below, SMS users must not assign a CoS to themselves or to a close relative or partner. A close relative or partner is: • a spouse or civil partner • an unmarried or a same-sex partner • a parent or step-parent • a son or step-son • a daughter or step-daughter • a brother, step-brother or half-brother • a sister, step-sister or half-sister • a nephew, niece, or cousin • an aunt or uncle • a father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law or daughter-in-law Online on social media everyone is misguiding applicants that you can sponsor yourself. You can only sponsor and issue CoS in UK expansion worker route kzbin.info/www/bejne/iquXfWlrd6lniNE

The Home Office offers a priority processing service for an additional fee of £536 (as of February 21, 2024). This service aims to get you a decision within 10 working days.

How much time it will take for a fresh company to get licence

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

It typically takes about 8 weeks for a new company to get a Sponsor Licence from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). However, there is a premium service available that can reduce this time to 10 working days. Standard service The standard service for applying for a Sponsor Licence costs £1,500. It typically takes 8 weeks for UKVI to process an application, but there is no guarantee that it will be approved. There is also a risk that your application may be delayed if UKVI needs more information from you. Premium service The premium service for applying for a Sponsor Licence costs £2,000. It typically takes 10 working days for UKVI to process an application, and it is guaranteed that your application will be approved or rejected within this timeframe. This is because the premium service includes an extra assessment by a UKVI caseworker.

The answer is no, you cannot start a business on a student visa in the UK. Student visa holders are not allowed to be self-employed or do business activity. But if you on Post Study Work Visa then Yes. To Sponsor yourself you need a Business Citizen the Authorising Officer who can be assigned CoS and then he can issue you the Visa. But the company has to be genuine and job which is created for you must be genuine. In-Short, if you doing Genuine Business in UK then there should be no problem.

Yes, so true and they should . As its getting crazy, they selling the visa without job / salary. Applicants arrives in UK assuming they will find job and end up sleeping at the bus stops cuz they have already paid every single penny to those scammers.

How much time license processing

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

Most applications are dealt with in less than 8 weeks. UKVI may need to visit your business. You may be able to pay an extra £500 to get a decision within 10 working days. This service is limited to a small number of applications every working day. Faster decisions are allocated in the order that requests arrive (first come, first served).

I have apply license 10 weeks but home office not reply please tell me about this

[@UKknowledgeGuru]

According to the Home Office Standard time is 8 weeks. But its not just you who is experiencing this delay issue and worst part is Home Office is not even updating about this delay. Someone else I know is waiting since 12 week now for Sponsor Lic Category. Only way we can understand this is by sharing our waiting time with each other. I have created a thread for Sep 2023. Can you pls share your waiting time in the comment section of this Video and when other people will share their that will help us all to understand where the delay is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYi5koiEmK-jrJY

@@UKknowledgeGuru From my experience applying for a visitor visa, it was a 6-7 weeks delay. While I was waiting, I wrote an email to the home office. It cost me a few pounds for this email but it was worth it because I got the answer within 24 hours and they followed up my application as well. After that, I got my results about 5 days later You may want to try this approach.
