FAQ
43,847 licence entries on the Home Office register are based in London — 30.6% of all licensed sponsors in the UK (register dated Nov 4, 2026). Each entry is one employer licensed for one route; a large employer can hold more than one entry.
The Skilled Worker route dominates: 35,511 of London's 43,847 entries (81.0%). 35,511 entries are on the Skilled Worker route, which covers most ordinary jobs — if you are applying for a regular role, that is the route to check an employer against.
43,774 of the 43,847 entries (99.8%) hold an A rating, which means the sponsor is meeting its sponsorship duties. A B rating means UK Visas and Immigration has put the sponsor on an action plan, and a B-rated sponsor cannot take on new sponsored workers until it earns its A rating back.
No — a licence only means the employer is allowed to sponsor. Hiring is separate. Right now our board lists 86 live jobs in London whose own postings mention sponsorship, each checked against the employer's own careers board; the jobs section on this page shows the latest ones. Always confirm sponsorship with the employer when you apply.
Search the employer's name in the full sponsor licence list, filtered to London. If it appears with the route you need and an A rating, the employer held a valid licence on the register date. Then apply with a UK-format CV — a licence opens the door, but the application still has to win the job.
