It cannot sponsor new visa applications. ### When did SMB Group leave the sponsor register? SMB Group left the register on 30 September 2026. Companies House shows the company was winding up or had ceased trading. GOV.UK gives no reason, so this does not establish why the licence ended. ### What visa routes can SMB Group sponsor?
