Common issues we solve
We anticipate risks, fix gaps, and keep your licence inspection-ready.
RTW gaps
Inconsistent checks or missing records — we implement a statutory-excuse process.
SOC & salary
Mis-mapped roles or thresholds — we align duties and evidence to the correct code.
Key personnel
Unsuitable AO/Level 1/2 users — we restructure access and succession.
Reporting delays
Late changes & CoS errors — we create diarised flows and templates.
Visit readiness
Unprepared staff or files — mock audits and action plans close the gaps.
Renewal risk
Missing evidence or drift — we plan early and clean up the record.
Sponsor Licence — FAQs
Quick answers on eligibility, visits, CoS and ongoing duties.
You hold one licence per organisation (with categories). Individual roles are sponsored via Certificates of Sponsorship that match SOC code and salary rules.
It’s possible. We prepare staff, sample files, and systems so you’re inspection-ready even at short notice.
Accurate RTW checks, timely reporting (changes to roles, salary, location, contact), clean records, and correct CoS usage. We provide templates and reminders.
Licences are time-limited and must be renewed. We diarise renewal windows and prepare a clean renewal bundle in advance.
