Does a sponsor licence mean every job at these retailers and shops comes with a visa?

No. A licence means the employer can sponsor eligible roles. Many roles will not be sponsored, and the job must meet the skill and salary rules for the visa route. Confirm sponsorship for the specific vacancy before applying.

How is the sector decided?

The Home Office register does not record a sector, so it is judged from the organisation's name using a set of rules and an AI check, and only kept where the two agree or the check is confident. An employer with an ambiguous name may be listed under a different sector or none.
