01The problem

Enforcement is at record levels. A spreadsheet won't hold.

The licence that lets you employ your sponsored workers can be suspended after one failed visit — and most failures are paperwork, not bad faith.

  1. 1. Home Office transparency data, 2025 — verify at gov.uk before quoting onward.
  2. 2. GOV.UK: penalties for employing illegal workers (fetched 5 July 2026).
  3. 3. Workers and Temporary Workers: guidance for sponsors, Part 3 (v05/26), para C1.15.

02The deadlines

The deadlines are published. The rules keep moving.

Three dates already in force or on the calendar — each one changes what compliant looks like for a UK sponsor.

  1. 22 July 2025

    Skill floor rose to RQF6

    Roles below degree level lost new-hire eligibility — existing codes need re-checking.

    Immigration Rules change, eligible-occupations list edition of that date.

  2. 1 October 2026

    Right-to-work duties extend to gig work

    Couriers, platform and casual labour come into the checking regime.

    Draft Code of Practice published 30 June 2026 — commencement per final Code.

  3. 1 January 2027

    Graduate route cut to 18 months

    Graduate-route staff need the Skilled Worker switch planned sooner.

    GOV.UK Graduate visa guidance (fetched 5 July 2026).

03The system

04The product

Built like the compliance record it is

Deadlines that count working days, not hope

Evidence scored against Appendix D, continuously

Upload once, see the completeness move. Every mandatory item an inspector expects, per worker and organisation-wide, with the readiness score updating the moment a gap closes.

A verdict, a deadline, and the draft — in four questions

05The artifact

One click before the Home Office visits

The mock-audit pack assembles your whole position — score breakdown, every worker's file with what's present and what's missing, checks, events and open actions — as the PDF an inspection would ask you to produce.

Questions

Questions sponsors ask

No. SponsorFort is a workflow and record-keeping tool. It organises your evidence, tracks statutory deadlines and drafts factual report text — but immigration advice is regulated in the UK, and questions about your specific situation belong with a regulated immigration adviser or solicitor. Where the rules get judgement-dependent, SponsorFort says so and points you to advice rather than guessing for you.

No — and be wary of anything that claims to. There is no public API for the Sponsorship Management System or Sponsor UK. SponsorFort prepares the draft text and tracks the deadline; you submit in your own SMS/Sponsor UK account and record the reference so there's a complete audit trail.

You add your licence details, your sponsored workers (a form, or one CSV), and your first few documents. SponsorFort then shows your audit-readiness score with every gap listed and linked to its fix. Most sponsors see their real position inside ten minutes.

Every reportable event, right-to-work re-check, CoS/visa expiry and your licence renewal becomes a tracked deadline. You get one bundled email per day at most — 10, 5 and 2 working days before each deadline, on the day, then escalating while anything is overdue. Working days exclude weekends and England & Wales bank holidays.

In the UK — London region (AWS eu-west-2) via Supabase, encrypted in transit and at rest. Documents live in a private bucket with signed, expiring links. Every change is written to an audit log.

Your data is kept safe for 90 days and export is always available. Reminders pause while you're lapsed — that's the one thing we can't do for you unpaid — and switch straight back on when you reactivate.

Yes — invite them from Settings → Team. Many sponsors give their adviser read access so mock-audit packs and evidence are one link away instead of an email thread.

Two sponsored workers carry the same duties as twenty — the Home Office doesn't scale the rules down. Starter (£99/month) exists exactly for this: small numbers, full duties, no spreadsheet anxiety.

Ten minutes to your real audit-readiness score

Add your workers, upload what you have, and see exactly where you stand — before anyone else asks.
