Sponsor licence compliance software for UK employers

Your sponsor licence shouldn't depend on someone remembering.

Sponsoro continuously watches the things that put sponsorship compliance at risk, from salary and Right to Work to reporting deadlines, worker changes and company records.

When something changes, Sponsoro tells your team what matters, why it matters and what needs to happen next, then keeps the evidence to prove it.

The problem

Sponsor compliance shouldn't depend on someone remembering.

Most compliance problems don't start with something dramatic. The problem is recognising when an ordinary workforce change creates a sponsorship compliance obligation.

Each ordinary change can carry a sponsorship obligation someone has to recognise.

When nobody connects the two

If the sponsorship impact isn't recognised, owned and evidenced, a small administrative change becomes a much bigger compliance problem.

What Sponsoro does

Sponsoro connects the change to the obligation — so your team doesn't need to remember every rule every time something happens.

The core promise

Detect. Understand. Act. Prove.

One loop running quietly across every worker, every day, so nothing depends on someone remembering.
01

Detect

Sponsoro watches sponsored worker records, salary, Right to Work, reporting events, CoS records, evidence and organisation changes.

02

Understand

Every relevant change is evaluated against the rule version that applies.

03

Act

The right person gets the issue, deadline, evidence and next step.

04

Prove

Every decision, calculation, action and supporting record remains attached to a permanent audit trail.

Compliance becomes a process, not a memory.

What needs you today

No digging through spreadsheets. No checking five different systems. No wondering what someone else has already dealt with. Sponsoro continuously turns sponsorship risk into a clear, prioritised work queue.

Pre-payroll salary checking

Find the problem before payroll creates it.

Salary compliance shouldn't be discovered weeks after someone has already been paid. Upload your draft payroll and Sponsoro checks every sponsored worker against the applicable salary requirements before payroll is submitted. If something doesn't look right, you see exactly where the issue is.
  • Every calculation shows its working — threshold, going rate, hours and qualifying pay
  • Salary sacrifice and deductions handled before the comparison
  • No mysterious red flags: you can see how the result was reached

Catch it before payroll. Not during the audit.

Sponsoro Continuous Audit

Your internal records aren't the whole picture.

Your organisation changes outside your compliance system too. Sponsoro continuously cross-checks relevant external records against what you hold internally.
  • Companies House changes surfaced for review
  • Sponsor-register presence and status monitored
  • Discrepancies become owned, tracked actions

When the two don't agree, Sponsoro doesn't bury the discrepancy in a dashboard. It creates something somebody has to deal with.

Explainable by design

Every alert should be able to answer one question. Why?

A red badge isn't enough when your sponsor licence is involved. Every significant Sponsoro determination can preserve what changed, which rule applied, what information was used, what was determined, why, what happened next and the evidence attached.

Months later, you don't have to reconstruct why somebody made a decision. The reasoning is already there.

Reporting workflow

From workforce change to filing-ready.

Sponsoro turns relevant worker and organisation changes into controlled reporting workflows — with the deadline counted, the summary prepared and the evidence retained.
  • Working-day deadline tracking, including bank holidays where applicable
  • Filing-ready summary for your Level 1 User
  • Direct route to the official SMS — we don't pretend to replace it
  • Reference capture and permanent evidence once filed

One event. One owner. One evidence trail.

Right to Work

The right route. The right evidence. The next check already scheduled.

Sponsoro guides your team through the appropriate Right to Work workflow based on the worker's circumstances. Where an official government check is required, Sponsoro takes you to the official service rather than pretending to replace it — then keeps the outcome, evidence and future recheck requirement together.

Less uncertainty for HR. Better evidence for compliance.

CoS management

Don't let the Certificate of Sponsorship disappear into a PDF folder.

Sponsoro turns each CoS into a living compliance record — usage status, usage window, sponsored role, salary and the evidence behind it, all connected.

Your CoS becomes the anchor for the worker's compliance history.

Home Office visit readiness

If you were asked tomorrow, how quickly could you prove your position?

Sponsoro continuously measures where evidence or actions still need attention. Instead of discovering gaps while preparing for a visit, you can see them while there's still time to resolve them.
  • Live readiness across every compliance area
  • Prioritised gaps so you know what matters first
  • Evidence packs that bring the records together quickly

Don't prepare for compliance once a year. Stay ready every day.

Evidence you can't quietly rewrite later

Your history should be as trustworthy as your current dashboard.

Every state-changing action in Sponsoro is written to an append-only, tamper-evident audit trail. Each event records who performed the action, what changed, when it happened, who or what it affected, and the previous integrity state linked through the audit chain.

No administrator can simply edit history until it looks better. Not even us.

Sponsoro Intelligence

Don't ask AI what the rules say. Ask what they mean for your organisation.

Sponsoro's AI assistant isn't a generic immigration chatbot. It works with Sponsoro's structured compliance data and your approved guidance corpus to explain what's actually happening in your organisation.
  • Grounded answers — relevant guidance attached to the explanation
  • No guessing — if there isn't enough evidence, Sponsoro says so
  • Clear advice boundary — compliance information, not individual advice

AI should make compliance easier to understand, not harder to trust.

Why did our readiness score drop this week?

Readiness moved from 94% to 92% because of four new evidence gaps. Three workers' September payroll records haven't been received, and one worker's Right to Work evidence needs review. No new overdue reporting events were detected.

Where professional advice is required, the workflow stops and directs the matter to a regulated adviser.

For Authorising Officers and leadership

Why Sponsoro

Not another HR system.

Each system you already run tells you one part of the story. None of them tells you what it means for your sponsor licence.

Your HR system

tells you what changed

Your payroll system

tells you what was paid

The Sponsor Management System

tells you what you reported

Sponsoro connects the compliance meaning between them.

It exists to answer:

That's the job.

  • Does this matter?
  • Why?
  • Who needs to act?
  • By when?
  • What evidence do we need?
  • Can we prove what happened later?

What Sponsoro doesn't do

Clear boundaries make better compliance software.

We'd rather tell you where the boundary is than pretend software can replace it.

We don't replace the Sponsor Management System.

Where a filing must be completed through the official SMS, Sponsoro prepares your workflow and takes you to the right place.

We don't replace the official Right to Work service.

Where the statutory process requires an official government service, that's where the check happens.

We don't give individual immigration advice.

Sponsoro explains compliance information and your organisation's records. Individual immigration matters belong with appropriately regulated professionals.

FAQ

Asked before you sign up.

Does Sponsoro replace the Home Office Sponsor Management System?

No. Sponsoro manages the compliance workflow around your sponsor licence. Where an action must be completed in the official SMS, Sponsoro prepares the information, tracks the deadline and retains the filing reference and evidence.

Does Sponsoro provide immigration advice?

No. Sponsoro provides compliance information and explains its determinations using relevant guidance and organisation data. Individual immigration advice should be provided by an appropriately regulated adviser.

Does Sponsoro perform the official Right to Work check?

Where the official government service is required, Sponsoro directs your team to that service. The result and supporting evidence can then be retained and monitored within Sponsoro.

Can Sponsoro help us prepare for a Home Office visit?

Yes. Sponsoro continuously highlights missing evidence and unresolved compliance issues so you're not discovering everything at the point of a visit. Evidence packs and your audit trail help bring the supporting record together.

Is Sponsoro only for large organisations?

No. Sponsoro is designed for sponsors ranging from a handful of sponsored workers to larger multi-site organisations.

How does Sponsoro's AI work?

The assistant combines Sponsoro's structured compliance information with a controlled, versioned guidance corpus. Responses can show the supporting guidance, and where there isn't enough information to reach a reliable explanation, Sponsoro can say so rather than inventing an answer.

Stop relying on somebody remembering.
