The full register of all 127,770UK companies licensed to sponsor Skilled Worker visas — synced daily with the Home Office register, with the data other lists don’t have: who is actually hiring, and who joined or left the register this month.
By Manu · Data verified against gov.uk on 8 October 2026
Every register mirror shows the same 127,770 names. This table shows something a licence alone can’t: which sponsors have live sponsored vacancies today, ranked by open-role count from our daily-synced jobs feed.
In the latest Home Office release (8 October 2026), 51 organisations were added to the register and 39 were removed, taking the total from 127,758 to 127,770. Every addition and removal is tracked, per release, on the Sponsor Register Watch.
This directory holds the complete, current list — 127,770 organisations licensed by the Home Office to sponsor Skilled Worker visas, re-synced from the official register every day. Browse it A–Z below, filter by city or by industry, or download the whole list as CSV (free to cite with attribution).
A sponsor licence lets a company assign a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) for a specific role. The role must sit at RQF Level 6 and pay the higher of £41,700 and its SOC code’s going rate; you must also prove CEFR B2 English. Once you hold the CoS, you apply for the visa itself — the step-by-step is in the Skilled Worker visa guide.
Selling Certificates of Sponsorship is illegal. A genuine sponsor never charges a candidate for a CoS, and a genuine recruiter never asks for payment to “secure” sponsorship. Verify every company on this register before sharing documents, and read how to spot fake UK visa sponsorship jobs before you apply to anything.
