UK sponsor-licence compliance
UK sponsor-licence enforcement has sharpened: salary data checked against payroll, digital compliance reviews, unannounced visits. The duties are precise — right-to-work evidence, salary reconciliation, absence monitoring, event reports inside 10 working days — and the penalty for a messy file is the licence itself, which is to say: your sponsored workforce.
What the file covers
The stakes
Enforcement checks right-to-work evidence and salary reconciliation first — so that is what the pack ranks first.
What the file pack contains
What we build is the part firms put off: a file that produces any document in five minutes.
The complete record-keeping checklist per sponsored worker — right-to-work, salary reconciled to the CoS, absence, recruitment evidence — as a file system, not a vague list.
Your answers produce the gaps in scoring order: missing right-to-work evidence and unreconciled salaries first, because that is what enforcement checks first.
Who does what — Authorising Officer, Key Contact, Level 1 User, line managers — and the working-day clocks each event starts, with the deputy path for leave.
Seven questions a real visit effectively asks, as a quarterly drill with a stopwatch. Dated, versioned, regenerated free when guidance changes.
What arrives
Every line in the panel is a deliverable named on this page. The animation shows the assembly order; your questionnaire answers replace the sample.

One-off
Kept current
Pilot guarantee: if your file pack doesn't surface at least three gaps specific to your workers and processes, you don't pay. The alternative: a solicitor-led mock audit at £1,500–£5,000, or finding out at the real one. This is deliberately not another £99/month compliance subscription — it's your file, built once, audit-ready, with the drill to keep it that way.
Card payments are taken by Stripe on its secure checkout page — this site stores no payment details. Pay by card now (€490, refunded in full if the pack does not surface at least three gaps specific to your company), or by invoice after scoping with nothing owed until your order is confirmed in writing. Our solicitor's pre-launch review is ongoing; its wording lands on these pages the day it arrives.
Honest limits
Stated here rather than in the small print, because immigration compliance punishes overclaiming harder than most fields.
SponsorReady produces internal compliance documentation: file structures, gap lists, calendars and drills built from the answers you supply. It is not legal advice.
It is not immigration advice — it says nothing about any individual's visa, status or application. Case-specific questions belong with a regulated immigration adviser.
Our calendar excludes weekends but not bank holidays, so shown deadlines are always the safe side of the true ones.
