Regardless of the size of your organisation, you must first have an established presence before applying for a Sponsor Licence. If you cannot show you are an established UK business, you will not receive a Sponsor Licence.
If you are a government body in the UK or are listed on the London Stock Exchange, this proves your validity. If not, you must present supporting evidence such as bank account registration, lease agreement, VAT registration, trade documents, and business licences. All documents must be originals or certified copies and are a critical part of a Sponsor Licence application.
If you are satisfying these requirements and genuinely in need of skilled worker who cannot be replaced by British or settled worker, you should secure Sponsor Licence before employing non-EU skilled worker.
