UK Self Sponsorship Visa
Support for entrepreneurs who want to establish a UK business and explore sponsorship opportunities through their own company.
How self sponsorship works
Self sponsorship is not a separate visa category. You establish a genuine UK company, the company obtains a sponsor licence, and it then sponsors a skilled role — which may be yours. The Home Office applies a genuineness test throughout, so the business, the role and the HR systems behind it all need to be real and evidenced.

Visa Application
Where applications usually fail
A business that looks dormant
No trading activity, no premises, no contracts. We build an evidence trail from day one.
A role that is not genuine
Job descriptions must match a real business need at the right skill level. We help define it properly.
Weak HR systems
Right-to-work checks, absence monitoring and reporting must exist before the compliance visit.
Thin financial evidence
Funding, forecasts and bank activity need to support the plan you have submitted.
Plan your UK company the right way
Book a consultation to review whether self sponsorship is realistic for your situation.
