Sponsor Licence Advice for Construction Businesses

Construction employers must show that they are genuine, operational and capable of complying with sponsor duties before sponsoring overseas workers.

Construction businesses may require a sponsor licence to recruit eligible overseas workers under the Skilled Worker route. The Home Office may examine whether the business is genuinely trading, whether the proposed role is eligible and whether the organisation can manage sponsored workers compliantly.

We assist construction companies by reviewing trading evidence, contracts, organisation structure, staffing plans, job descriptions, right to work procedures and sponsor compliance systems before submission.

Important:

Construction sponsor licence applications should clearly explain the genuine operational need for the role and how the sponsored worker fits into the wider business structure.
