Organisations on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors whose Companies House industry code (SIC) is one of the codes below. A new licence starts A-rated; a B-rating follows a downgrade and comes with an action plan. Licences added since our copy began are not yet matched to Companies House, so additions and removals are not split by sector here; the whole-register monthly figures are on sponsor register changes.
