Common Sponsorship Licensing Challenges
Sponsor licence applications involve more than completing a form. Employers must provide the relevant supporting documents and demonstrate that they meet the applicable requirements. Once licensed, they must also understand and comply with their sponsor duties.
Incomplete Financial Documentation
Missing or inconsistent accounts, financial reports or other supporting information can make it harder to assemble an application that meets the relevant document requirements.
Disorganised Business Records
Hospitality employers may have financial information spread across bookkeeping systems, bank statements, payroll records and supplier documents. Bringing relevant records together can take time.
Unclear Payroll and PAYE Information
Employers need appropriate payroll records and must meet applicable employment and tax obligations. Well-organised records make it easier to review the financial information relevant to sponsorship.
Limited Awareness of Sponsor Duties
Holding a sponsor licence brings ongoing responsibilities, including record keeping, reporting and compliance with the applicable sponsorship rules. These duties need to be understood beyond the initial application.
Confusion About Professional Responsibilities
Accounting support and immigration advice are different services. Businesses may need an accountant for financial evidence and payroll records alongside a qualified immigration specialist for legal and application-related guidance.
Keeping Records Ready for Future Checks
Sponsor duties continue after a licence is granted. Employers need suitable processes for maintaining required documents and making them available when requested.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is sponsorship licensing support for hospitality businesses?
It is support for hospitality employers preparing financial and accounting information relevant to a sponsor licence application and ongoing employer responsibilities. This may include business accounts, financial reports, payroll records and other relevant documentation.
What is a Tier 2 sponsor licence called now?
Tier 2 is legacy terminology. The current immigration system uses routes such as the Skilled Worker route. The correct route depends on the role and circumstances, so employers should check current Home Office guidance or speak to an appropriately qualified immigration specialist.
What financial documents may be needed for a sponsor licence application?
Depending on the organisation and route, the Home Office may require annual accounts, financial reports, business bank statements or other evidence. The exact requirements are set out in the applicable sponsor guidance and Appendix A.
Can F&A Accountants apply for a sponsor licence on my behalf?
F&A can help prepare relevant financial and accounting information. Immigration application advice and the application itself should be handled by the employer or an appropriately authorised immigration professional, depending on the arrangement. We do not provide immigration legal advice.
Can you help with payroll records for sponsored workers?
We can help organise relevant payroll and PAYE information as part of your accounting support. Employers should also obtain appropriate immigration advice on the specific sponsorship, employment and record-keeping obligations that apply to them.
