    Still Using Spreadsheets for Compliance?

    Excel and Google Sheets are great tools—but they weren't built for Home Office compliance. Here's why 50+ UK sponsors have made the switch to LuwaSuite.

    The Hidden Risks of Spreadsheet Compliance

    1,948 sponsor licences were revoked last year. Many of those businesses relied on spreadsheets.

    Human Error

    Manual data entry leads to mistakes. One wrong date could mean a missed RTW check and £20,000 fine.

    No Automated Alerts

    Spreadsheets don't remind you when documents expire. You have to manually check every row, every day.

    No Audit Trail

    Who changed what, when? Spreadsheets can't prove your compliance history to Home Office auditors.
