What a licence means
The slow part is done
Getting a licence takes an application, checks and a fee, and most employers never bother. MerchantCantos has, which means when a role qualifies the certificate can be assigned without months of preparation.
How to approach them
Make the certificate easy
The employer assigns the certificate; you supply what it needs. Certificates, references, your English level and a clear licence position, all ready, is what makes MerchantCantos say yes to the sponsored candidate over the unsponsored one.
The register
MerchantCantos, London, London, holds a Home Office sponsor licence covering 2 routes: Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled Worker. It has been on the register since at least 2026. Its rating on the register is Worker (A rating).
Merchantcantos LLP is the registered name (Companies House number OC305693), a limited liability partnership on the register since 2003. Registered office: 16 Lincolns Inn Fields, London, WC2A 3ED, WC2A 3ED. It has traded under other names before, including Cantos Communications (UK) LLP.
A licence says an organisation may sponsor; it does not say it is hiring today. The way to find out is the same as for any employer: the careers page, the job boards, and a direct approach with a UK-style CV that says early that sponsorship would be needed.
