What a licence means

The slow part is done

Getting a licence takes an application, checks and a fee, and most employers never bother. Activtrades has, which means when a role qualifies the certificate can be assigned without months of preparation.

How to approach them

Ask the question early

Sponsorship is a yes or no per role. Ask in the first message whether the vacancy qualifies for a Certificate of Sponsorship; it saves everyone a wasted interview and marks you as someone who knows the system.

The register

Activtrades is licensed to sponsor workers on Skilled Worker. The organisation is based in London and has held its place on the register since at least 2026. Rating on the current register: Worker (A rating).

At Companies House the business is Activtrades PLC (company number 05367727), a public limited company incorporated in 2005, 21 years ago. Registered office: The Loom, Office 2.6,, 14 Gowers Walk, London, E1 8PY, E1 8PY. Its filed activity puts it in finance and insurance. It has traded under other names before, including Activtrades Limited.

For a candidate this means one less obstacle: Activtrades already has the licence most employers would have to apply for. The rest is the ordinary job of getting the interview.
