Choose the monitoring you need

Best for recruiters

Watchlist

£49 per month

Recruiters and advisers with a list of employers they place people into.

  • Your employer list checked every day
  • One clear email when something changes
  • Signals that cleared, not just ones that appeared
  • Compared against the dated record kept since 31 August 2026

The current data is free. The fee pays for us to check your list, compare each run with the dated record, and tell you what changed.

How the monitoring works

Start a watchlist

Sector feed

£149 per month

Anyone who needs a whole sector or region rather than a list.

  • One sector or region, filtered and assembled for you
  • Delivered daily if you need it
  • Movements measured against the archive, not just this week
  • Kept working when the GOV.UK source changes

The free JSON files cover the whole country for the last seven days. This is the same data cut to your patch, carried back further, and delivered without you writing anything.

Data licence

Quoted per project

Teams building something on top of this.

  • The full dated history, every day since 31 August 2026
  • Companies House signals month by month, and minimum wage namings round by round
  • A cut shaped to your question, in whatever format you need

GOV.UK publishes today's register, not the employers that left it. This tier provides the dated series we have kept.

Search: Free forever

Anyone looking for a job, and anyone who wants the data.

Not a trial. Everything the site knows about an employer today stays free and downloadable.

What a watchlist email looks like

This report was generated from the same data used for customer reports, as of 11 Sep 2026 at 10:48 UTC. It is not a mockup.

5 of 12 employers on your watchlist changed for the last 7 days.

No longer on the register
-------------------------
They cannot sponsor anyone now. A candidate in the middle of an application there needs to know today.

  * Asahi Group International UK Limited
  * Assist Care & Support Ltd
  * Avatar Group Limited T/A Avatar
Downgraded to a B rating
------------------------
A B-rated sponsor is on a Home Office action plan and usually cannot issue new certificates until it is back to an A.

  * GLOBAL HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS LIMITED  (A to B on 2026-09-11)
  * Quarriers  (A to B on 2026-09-11)

Every line above is checkable against the official register and Companies House. Reply and ask if anything looks wrong.

A quiet week

Most weeks nothing moves. The report still confirms that every check ran.

Nothing changed.

All 12 employers on your watchlist still hold a licence, none was downgraded, and no company record moved. We checked every day.

What you are actually paying for

Everything about today is free.
The register, every Companies House warning, every minimum wage naming, this week's changes and the JSON files need no account. If that is all you need, take it and pay nothing.
What you cannot download is history.
We have kept a dated register since 31 August 2026. That record grows each day and cannot be rebuilt later.
The paid tiers sell the record and the work.
We check your list, compare it with the dated record and email you when something moves.

Getting started costs nothing

Start without a card or contract. The founding rate is kept for the first customers who stay.

First month free
Use it for a month and I will invoice you after. If it was not useful, do not pay. No card, no direct debit, nothing to cancel.
Founding rate for the first 10
Keep this price for as long as you stay, while it rises behind you.
Two months free on annual
Pay for ten months and get twelve, if you would rather pay once.

Try it on your own employers, before paying

Email me five employers you place people into. I will send back a real report, usually the same day. No card, no signup and no obligation to buy.

If the report finds nothing useful, you should not pay for it.

What this cannot do

Worth knowing before you pay rather than after.

It is not immigration advice.
We report what two public registers say. Whether you or a candidate qualifies for anything is a question for a regulated adviser.
A Companies House signal is not proof.
Employers are matched to company records by name. Where a name is held by more than one company we show nothing rather than guess, but a match is still a pointer to the official record, not a verdict.
We cannot tell you who is hiring.
A licence means an employer can sponsor a visa. It does not mean they have a vacancy, and no register anywhere records that.
The history starts when we started.
Daily records begin 31 August 2026 and Companies House snapshots begin September 2026. We will not pretend to know what happened before we were looking.

How to start

Email me the employers, sector or region you need monitored. Early customers are invoiced by hand while the service is being proven.
