Cora: Hi Sam! I can help with any UK employment question. Just ask — I’ll flag when to escalate to your consultant.

The reality

Running a small business is hard enough.

"I only have a handful of employees."

"I can't justify paying hundreds every month."

"I don't want to be locked into a long 3+ year contract."

"I don't know what I don't know."

"I don't know if my employee documents and processes are compliant."

"I only need help occasionally, but I don't want to get it wrong."

Employing people shouldn't be complicated.We've made it simple.

Why small employers love it

Employer support designed for businesses like yours.

Most employer support is built for companies with HR teams, large budgets and dozens (or hundreds) of employees.

If you employ fewer than 10 people, you often end up with two choices: pay for far more than you need, or risk getting it wrong.

The Employer Support Hub gives you a better alternative.

Trying to do it yourself

Without the Hub

  • Searching Google for answers
  • Asking ChatGPT without knowing whether the advice applies to your business
  • Downloading free templates that may be out of date or not written for UK employers
  • Following advice from Facebook groups or business forums
  • Hoping you've interpreted employment law correctly

With The Employer Support Hub

  • Expert-reviewed resources
  • Up-to-date documents
  • Practical guidance
  • Supported by real HR professionals
  • Confidence that you're following best practice
The risk? One small mistake can lead to expensive claims, employee disputes or hours spent fixing problems that could have been prevented.

Paying for traditional HR support

Without the Hub

  • Monthly retainers that are designed for larger or scaling companies
  • Paying for services you'll never use
  • Expensive hourly rates whenever you need extra help
  • Starting from scratch with a different adviser each time
  • Feeling like a small client in a big system

With The Employer Support Hub

  • Affordable membership designed specifically for businesses with up to 10 employees
  • One dedicated consultant who gets to know your business
  • Monthly support included
  • Unused support rolls over for up to 12 months
  • Everything in one place

Using employment solicitors for everyday HR

Solicitors are invaluable when you need legal representation or specialist legal advice.

But many day-to-day employer questions don't require a solicitor. Using legal advisers for routine HR issues can quickly become expensive.

The Employer Support Hub helps you manage everyday employment matters confidently, so you know when you can deal with something yourself, and when specialist legal advice may be appropriate.

The problem with "borrowing" documents

We've all seen it. A contract from another business. A disciplinary letter downloaded years ago. A policy copied from the internet.

The problem is that every business is different, and employment law changes regularly. Documents should work together as a complete employment framework — not as a collection of random downloads.

The problem with relying on AI alone

AI tools like ChatGPT can be incredibly useful, but the quality of the answer depends on the information you provide. If your prompt is incomplete, the advice can be incomplete too.

AI doesn't know your business or the full context of the situation. It can also make mistakes, misinterpret UK employment law or generate documents that aren't suitable for your specific circumstances.

The Employer Support Hub combines the best of both worlds.

Use our AI Assistant to get instant guidance, backed by professionally written templates, regularly updated resources and your own dedicated HR Consultant whenever you need reassurance or advice. That way, you're not relying on AI alone; you're supported by real HR expertise too.

Micro businesses need more structure, not less.

One of the biggest myths in business is that because you only employ a handful of people, you don't need proper employer processes. The opposite is true.

When you have five employees, one absence can affect 20% of your workforce. One resignation can remove a key skill. One employee dispute can consume a huge amount of your time. One tribunal claim can cost more than your annual profits.

Small businesses don't need hundreds of HR policies. They need the right processes, the right documents and the confidence to handle situations correctly when they arise.

That's exactly what The Employer Support Hub is built for.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Unlike solutions designed for larger employers, we've focused on what micro businesses actually need.

  • HR software without unnecessary complexity
  • A dedicated HR consultant
  • Mandatory Compliance training
  • AI support
  • Key Contracts and Policies
  • A supportive peer community of other business owners
  • Employer guides
  • Employment law updates
  • Affordable monthly membership

Stand apart from your competitors. Most micro businesses do not provide employee benefits or a professional HR infrastructure — by doing both, you show candidates you are serious about supporting your people, and you attract and keep top talent more easily.

No complicated packages.

No confusing add-ons.

No unnecessary extras.

Just everything you need to employ people with confidence.

Case study

When HR support becomes another problem to solve.

“I needed guidance. Instead, I got a different person every time.”

When you're running a small business, HR issues are rarely planned. Whether it's a disciplinary, a grievance, or the difficult decision to make redundancies, employers need clear, practical advice from someone who understands their business, not someone reading from a script.

One business came to us after reaching a breaking point with a large national HR provider. On paper, the provider looked impressive, but the reality was very different.

From the founder

Built by an HR consultant who kept meeting the same problem

Small employers were being sold HR designed for companies ten times their size, long contracts, a different adviser every call, and generic paperwork. The Hub is the alternative: a named, CIPD-qualified consultant, proper documentation and software, at a price that works for a team of one to ten.

Charlotte Harding — Founder, CIPD-qualified HR consultant

Because employing just one person is enough to create HR responsibilities.

You don't need 100 employees to need contracts, policies, compliance, training or expert support. If you employ one person, you're an employer, and you deserve a solution built for businesses your size.
