How these figures are made
The Home Office publishes the register of licensed sponsors as a spreadsheet, most working days, with no history. SkilledJobs downloads it daily and keeps every copy. An organisation counts as added in the month it first appears in our copies and as removed in the month it stops appearing. Both columns count the whole register, including organisations we do not publish a page for, so they share one denominator. The month the mirror started is left out: its first-seen dates are the initial import, not new licences.
The sector breakdown uses the primary industry code of the organisation at Companies House, folded into the same categories as the sponsor list by sector; organisations without a usable match are grouped as other sectors. The register itself does not say why a licence ended, so this page says removed and nothing more. The organisations behind the latest figures are listed on recently added sponsors, and any single employer can be checked with the free sponsor licence check.
