Once you’ve answered the questions, we’ll instantly calculate your audit readiness level and send you:

  • A one-page checklist you can use to get your records, payroll and timesheets inspection-ready.

Audit Readiness Score: 68%
You’re on the right track but have some gaps that should be fixed before a Home Office visit.

What We Check For You

We cover every area Home Office compliance officers look at during sponsor licence audits, so nothing is left to chance.

PAYROLL & SALARY THRESHOLDS
Payroll Compliance

We cross-check sponsored workers against the latest SOC codes, salary thresholds and contracted hours to spot underpayments before the Home Office does.

RIGHT-TO-WORK & RECORDS
Record Keeping

We review your CoS, contracts, right-to-work checks, HR files and address details to ensure your records meet Home Office expectations.

HOURS & OVERTIME
Timesheets & Hours

We check that timesheets, rota systems and actual hours worked align with contracts and visa conditions, especially for night and overtime work.

PAYSLIP EVIDENCE
Payslip Verification

We sample payslips for sponsored workers to confirm pay, hours and deductions are consistent, documented and compliant.

PRE-AUDIT DRY RUN
Mock Audit Preparation

We run an internal “mock audit” using the same documents and questions you’re likely to see in a Home Office visit.

ONGOING SUPPORT
Ongoing Compliance Support

We give you clear action plans, templates and ongoing support so you stay inspection-ready as staff and rules change.

COMMON SPONSOR LICENCE PITFALLS

Why It Pays to Act Before the Home Office Calls

Many sponsor licence holders fail compliance audits because of issues that could have been fixed weeks earlier: missing records, salary levels below the rules, or timesheets that don’t match contracts.

Typical issues we see:

  • Missing right-to-work records or visa expiry dates not monitored.
  • Sponsored staff paid below the latest salary thresholds (often after overtime or deductions).
  • Timesheets and rotas that don’t match contracted hours or job roles.
  • Inconsistent personal records: addresses, contact details and roles not kept up to date.

The result? Fines, licence downgrades or, in the worst cases, losing your ability to sponsor workers.
