Business Immigration

Sponsorship and mobility planning for employers and professionals.

For sponsored workers, founders, senior employees, HR teams and businesses that need to check the route before making commitments.

Business Routes

Business immigration decisions need timing and risk control.

Sponsor licence, CoS allocation, salary, occupation code, employee start dates and dependants can all affect business continuity.

SW

Skilled Worker

Licence, CoS, salary threshold, job code and start-date planning.

GBM

Global Business Mobility

Expansion, specialist assignments, trainees, service suppliers and secondees.

GT

Global Talent and founders

Endorsement and business route planning for senior or entrepreneurial clients.

Employer Decision Table

Before a business commits to sponsorship, several checks should be done.

For employers and professionals, immigration decisions affect hiring, start dates, continuity and compliance risk.

Separate employer readiness, corporate mobility and founder route strategy.

Employers usually need licence, CoS and compliance checks. Corporate teams need hiring, transfer and retention planning. Founders and senior applicants need route comparison across endorsement, sponsorship, business mobility, family timing and settlement.

Once you have identified a route, deadline or evidence concern, the next step is to match it to the level of review it needs.
