How Much Do UK Business Immigration Consultants Charge?

Queries also play a role in determining the fees charged by immigration consultants. Some firms charge per query, while others have an hourly rate of around £250. Alternatively, you may pay a higher case fee that includes providing answers to any questions that may arise during the process. Some businesses opt for a separate retainer fee, which ensures they have ongoing access to the consultant's expertise and support.

Most firms charge for ad-hoc projects such as assisting with changes to office locations or key personnel. The anticipated volume of work also influences the general cost per case the business will provide to the consultant monthly or annually. The higher the volume, the lower the fee, and consultants may also offer additional value-added services for clients with high volumes of work.

Consider Wider Costs

It's important to consider government fees and the consultant's charges. These fees include sponsor license applications/renewals, common work visa types (such as skilled worker and senior and specialist worker visas), and visitor visas. Businesses must also account for additional costs such as the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) fee, immigration skills charge, visa application fee, and immigration health surcharge. However, the specific fees can vary depending on the sector.

When choosing a business immigration consultant, it's important to look beyond just the cost. Consider the level of expertise, the range of services provided, and the consultant's track record. Remember that cheap isn't always the best option, and a shiny office doesn't guarantee quality service. By understanding your specific needs and evaluating the factors that influence fees, you can make an informed decision that best suits your business's immigration requirements.

Are you still searching for fees and pricing?

At Immtell, we understand that pricing and costs are key factors for businesses seeking immigration services. We know that it can be challenging to obtain pricing from UK immigration firms until you have had several conversations under the guise that every client offering is different, the service they provide is unique, etc. While this is certainly true to an extent, and Immtell also provides bespoke services, we think it’s only right that we can help you make your job a little easier.

So, rather than spending hours searching the internet for fee schedules or having the same conversation over and over just to get an indication of the likely price for the service you need, we are adding our indicative pricing to each service page. To be clear, these are not set in stone and may vary in uplift and reduction depending on the factors we’ve explained in this article, i.e. the service level required, anticipated case volume etc.

However, hopefully, the pricing provides you with a good indication as to where we are positioned in the market and helps you to make an informed decision as to whether we might be the right fit for you, and a conversation should be had. If you have any questions or would like a chat, please get in touch with us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
