Sponsor Licence Granted for Care Provider with Previously Revoked Licence

We are proud to share another success story from NARA Solicitors.

Our client, a CQC registered domiciliary care provider, has been granted a new sponsor licence without a pre-compliance interview. This is a significant achievement, particularly as their previous licence was revoked on 14 August 2024.

A sponsor licence revocation creates serious difficulties for any care provider. Our client faced the challenge of retaining key staff who remained with them during this period, while also rebuilding their ability to sponsor skilled migrant workers.

Our Approach

The client approached NARA Solicitors to assist with their new sponsor licence application. We worked closely with them to prepare a strong and well-documented submission. Our team:

• Conducted a thorough review of the previous revocation.
• Addressed each concern raised in the revocation decision.
• Prepared comprehensive supporting evidence demonstrating full compliance with Home Office requirements.
• Ensured all documentation met the required standards.

The application was submitted on 12 January 2026 under the priority service, with supporting documents submitted on 19 January 2026.

Just three days later, today on 22 January 2026, the licence is granted.

The approval without a pre-compliance interview reflects the strength of the application. This outcome was achieved through careful preparation and detailed evidence provided by our experienced team.

The Outcome

Our client now holds an active sponsor licence once again. They can retain the staff who continued working with them throughout this challenging period. More importantly, they can now focus on securing new client contracts and care packages to support business growth.

The client expressed how pleased they were with the outcome. Rebuilding after a revocation is never easy, but with the right support and a carefully prepared application, it is achievable.

Key Takeaways

• Do not wait for the cooling-off period to end. Begin preparing your application in advance to ensure you are in the strongest possible position when you reapply.
• A strong application makes the major difference. In this case, thorough documentation satisfied the Home Office from the outset and licence granted without the pre-compliance interview.
• Work with experienced immigration solicitors. Sponsor licence applications require detailed evidence and careful compliance management. Expert guidance can make the difference between approval and refusal.
