Employers licensed to sponsor Skilled Worker visas

The Skilled Worker route is the main UK work visa. An employer must hold a sponsor licence covering it, the job must sit at or above the route's skill level, and it must meet the salary threshold for its occupation code. It is by far the most common route on the register, and a licence for it is what most people mean by asking whether a company can sponsor a visa.
