Sponsor licence look-up
Search the Home Office's registers of licensed sponsors: employers licensed to sponsor workers, and education providers licensed to sponsor students. This is the Home Office's own published data, reproduced as it appears, refreshed each working day.

What this tells you, and what it does not
A listing means the organisation appeared on the register as the Home Office published it on the date shown above. It is not confirmation that a licence is in force today, and it says nothing about whether the sponsor has a certificate of sponsorship available, or whether any particular job meets the requirements of the route.
The register gives no company registration number, so check the town and the route against what you know of the employer before relying on a match. Two organisations with the same name in the same town cannot be told apart here.
This is an aid to checking, not advice, and it is not a substitute for the source, which is linked above.
