A sponsor can hold several routes, so these add up to more than the number of sponsors.
2 sponsors have a B rating. The Home Office downgrades a licence to B for breaches it thinks can be fixed with an action plan, and a B-rated sponsor cannot sponsor new workers until it gets its A rating back (sponsor guidance part 3 (opens in a new tab), C8).
