Common questions about The Innovation Unit Limited

Is The Innovation Unit Limited a licensed UK visa sponsor?
Yes. The Innovation Unit Limited in London holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2013. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.
What visa routes can The Innovation Unit Limited sponsor?
The Innovation Unit Limited is licensed for Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
Where is The Innovation Unit Limited based?
The register lists The Innovation Unit Limited at Runway East, 20 St. Thomas Street, London, England, SE1 9RS. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
