Certificates of Sponsorship
Supporting sponsors through the CoS process
Certificates of Sponsorship are an important part of the UK sponsorship process, but they are not simply an administrative step. In many cases, the more important issue is whether the role, immigration route and wider sponsorship arrangements have been considered properly before a request is made.
We advise businesses on Certificates of Sponsorship across all sponsored work routes, most notably Skilled Worker and Global Business Mobility. Our support covers both the preparation of requests and the assignment process, helping organisations avoid common pitfalls, manage compliance risk and support visa applications effectively.
Whether you are a first-time sponsor or an established licence holder, we provide clear, practical advice tailored to your organisation’s needs. Our aim is to help you make informed sponsorship decisions and manage Certificates of Sponsorship with confidence.
To discuss your requirements and how we can assist, please provide your details on the contact form for a call back.
