How it works

You never log in to the SMS unless you want to.

Most clients give us Level 1 access or send the details. We make the filing, record the reference number in your hub, and keep the evidence for the compliance visit.

  1. 1

    Record your sponsored workers once

    Names, CoS numbers, start dates, salaries and visa expiries. Fifteen minutes for most employers — or send us your SMS export and we set it up.

  2. 2

    We count every deadline

    Reporting windows in England & Wales working days with bank holidays, visa expiries, unused CoS, right-to-work follow-ups and salary shortfalls, checked against the current guidance.

  3. 3

    You press one button, we file

    Every alert has “Handle this for me”. An immigration lawyer files the SMS report, requests or assigns the CoS, or prepares the application. Fixed fee, quoted before we start, paid by card.

Services and fees

Fixed fees, quoted before we start.

Home Office application fees and the Immigration Skills Charge are separate and always shown separately. Anything not listed is quoted by a lawyer within one working day.

Why licences are lost

Almost never fraud. Almost always one of these five.

UKVI now moves straight to revocation rather than suspending first. Every sponsored worker then has 60 days to find a new sponsor or leave.

A late report
A worker started two weeks late, or a salary was adjusted, and nobody told the Home Office inside 10 working days. Found at the first compliance visit.
Right-to-work evidence
A passport copy in a drawer is not a check. Without the online share-code check recorded before day one there is no statutory excuse.
A visa that expired quietly
The extension needs a new CoS assigned before the current permission ends. HR assumed the worker had it covered.
Salary below the new threshold
Roles sponsored in 2023 are re-tested against today’s £41,700 threshold and going rate at the next CoS or extension.
Nobody on the licence works here
The Authorising Officer left, or was the consultant who set the licence up. The change was due on the SMS within 20 working days.

Who does the work

JustiScript

UK immigration lawyers

Every filing is prepared and checked by a person who does sponsor work daily. The hub tells you what is due; a lawyer decides how it is done.

Built on our CoS service

JustiScript already runs the 7am CoS priority-slot service used by immigration firms and employers across the UK. The hub grew out of that work.

Guidance, versioned

Deadlines and rules in the hub carry the guidance version they were computed under. When the Home Office publishes a new version, we review the rules and tell you what changed.

Questions

Frequently asked

What does the Sponsor Licence Hub actually do for me?

You record your sponsored workers once. We then watch visa expiries, right-to-work follow-ups, unused CoS and every SMS reporting deadline in UK working days. When something needs doing, you press one button and JustiScript’s immigration team does the filing, the CoS assignment or the application for you.

Do I still need to log in to the Sponsorship Management System?

Only if you want to. Most clients give us Level 1 user access or send us the details and we make the SMS reports, CoS requests and assignments on their behalf, then record the reference numbers in your hub.

How fast must changes be reported to the Home Office?

Changes about a sponsored worker (not starting, leaving, salary or role changes, unauthorised absence) must be reported within 10 working days. Changes to your organisation (address, key personnel, ownership) within 20 working days. The hub counts the exact deadline including bank holidays.

How much does it cost?

The hub itself is free for JustiScript clients. Each service is fixed-fee and quoted before we start: SMS reports from £79, right-to-work checks from £59, CoS allocation requests from £149, CoS assignment from £199, Skilled Worker visa applications from £599, mock compliance audits from £750.

Can you get me a CoS allocation quickly?

Yes. We prepare the justification and submit the request, and you can add our £99 priority-slot service, which submits at the 7:00am Home Office release window every working day until your request is placed.

What happens if a licence is revoked?

The Home Office revoked 4,403 sponsor licences in the 12 months to June 2026, mostly for missed reports, missing right-to-work evidence and untracked visa expiries. Every sponsored worker then has 60 days to find a new sponsor or leave. Prevention is far cheaper: the hub exists to make sure nothing is missed.

Start with your first sponsored worker. The hub is free; you pay only for filings you ask us to make.
