HR support for small businesses — without the corporate price tag
Most HR providers are built for companies with hundreds of employees. The Employer Support Hub is different. We provide outsourced HR for small businesses with 1–10 employees — a named consultant, compliant documentation, HR software, and employee benefits, all in one affordable membership. No long contracts. No call centre. Just expert support that fits the way your business actually works.
Small businesses carry the same legal duties as large ones
If you employ even one person, you need compliant contracts, up-to-date policies, right-to-work checks, and a fair grievance and disciplinary process. You need to handle holiday entitlement, statutory sick pay, and parental leave correctly. And when something goes wrong — a grievance, a performance issue, a redundancy — you need expert advice, fast.
The problem is that most HR for small businesses is either too expensive (large national providers with long contracts) or too thin (a template document you download and hope is still legally compliant). There's rarely a middle ground: expert, named, CIPD-qualified support at a price that works for a team of one to ten.
That middle ground is exactly what we built. Small business HR outsourcing shouldn't mean a call centre. It should mean a consultant who knows your name, your team, and your business — and picks up the phone when you need them.
What our HR support includes
A named HR consultant
You work with the same CIPD-qualified consultant every time — someone who knows your business, your people, and your history. Not a different voice on every call.
Compliant documentation
Employment contracts, policies, and handbook tailored to your business. Updated when the law changes, so you're always covered.
HR software included
Breathe HR gives you holiday tracking, absence management, document storage, and employee records — all in one simple platform.
12 hours of support time
Every membership includes 12 hours of consultant time per year for proactive and reactive support. Unused time rolls over for 6 months.
Is this the right HR support for your business?
Our membership is built for UK businesses with 1–10 employees. If you're a sole employer with your first hire, a growing micro business with five staff, or an established small team approaching ten, our memberships scale with you.
You might be right for us if:
- You want a named HR consultant, not a call centre
- You need compliant contracts and policies but don't want to write them yourself
- You're currently paying a large provider and feel underserved
- You want HR software that's simple, not enterprise-grade
- You want employee benefits but thought you were too small to offer them
HR support that fits your business, not the other way around
From £149/month with everything included. No long contracts. No call centre. Just a named consultant who knows your team.
