The Self-Sponsorship Route
Understanding the core concepts of establishing your UK business venture.
What
A route allowing you to set up a UK company which then sponsors you as a Skilled Worker. You become your own employer.
Who
Entrepreneurs, business owners, and senior managers with a viable business idea and sufficient funds to establish a UK company.
When
When you have a solid business plan and are ready to take the next step in incorporating and funding your UK-based enterprise.
The Self-Sponsorship Process
We guide you through each critical stage of setting up your company and securing your visa.
Company Formation
The first step is to legally incorporate your business in the UK. We assist with all aspects of company registration, ensuring it meets Home Office requirements for sponsorship.
Sponsor License Application
Once your company is formed, it must apply to the Home Office for a Sponsor License. We prepare and submit a robust application, including all necessary documentation.
Skilled Worker Visa Application
After the license is granted, your new company can issue a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to you. We then handle your personal Skilled Worker visa application.
