Having moved from a local accountancy firm who use to process my payroll to HR Solutions, I have never been so impressed and relaxed when it comes to the end of the month.
Kay replies within minutes of me processing the hours and deals with any questions or issues I have.

Rob Coppillie has looked after all of our HR needs for the last few years and his assistance is really valuable to us. He goes the extra mile and always responds quickly and even calls outside of normal working hours on many occasions.
His advice is something I feel gives me the confidence to deal with things that are out of my depth. I would thoroughly recommend Rob to any client for their HR needs.

We had a visit from HSE. They had a look around and then said it was one of the best paperwork (Construction Phase Plan) they had seen for a while! Thanks to both Lauren and Joanne for your help with that.

My association with HR Solutions has now been for almost 4 years, when I was looking for HR advice for a staff TUPE exercise.
To say the entire process was seamless and hassle free would be an understatement. The team kept us in the loop at every step and we had complete clarity of the entire process.
HR Solution’s transparent and detailed approach to HR matters has helped us keep our focus on our core operations. No query/request is ever too big.
Whilst the pricing model can be flexed as per your requirements, the experienced and timely advice has proven invaluable on a number of occasions.
Aftab Jussab, our consultant has comprehensive knowledge about complex employment law and his several years of experience in this field keeps us on the right track always. Not only am I able to discuss any issues with Aftab in an open and friendly manner, the advice has always been practical looking at all circumstances.
I am very happy to recommend HR solution’s service to small and large businesses and will be pleased for my contact details to be shared with others to answer any specific queries from a client’s perspective.

faqs
Is there HR support for small businesses?
Absolutely! It doesn’t matter if you’re a small or medium-sized business, there are HR consulting firms for small businesses
How much do HR consultants charge per hour in the UK?
The cost varies from one business to the next, but we offer two packages for SMEs:
- Starter: £650 per month
- Starter Plus: £1,250 per month
For this price, your business will receive a comprehensive suite of essentials that will improve the daily functioning of your workforce.
Do I need HR support if I only have a few employees?
It’s not a legal requirement under UK law, but you’ll find the support available highly beneficial. Our consultancy will help you remain compliant with UK employment laws, retain staff, and manage complex issues such as recruitment. HR support for small companies is vital for long-term business success and the ideal way to save money over hiring an internal team.
Do small businesses need HR?
It’s not a legal requirement under UK law, but it can be very beneficial to handle employment law compliance, make recruitment more streamlined, improve staff retention, and build your company culture. Outsourcing to external experts is an ideal route as you get all these perks at the reduced cost over an internal team.
How is HR in small businesses different from large companies?
The main difference is a more informal approach, plus it tends to be less specialised. For example, only one person (or a small team) may handle all duties. In a big business, there will likely be an entire department to manage the workforce.
How to manage HR in small business?
After assessing your business needs, you should decide if you want to hire an employee or outcourse your needs. It’s important your business has clear policies and procedures for UK employment law compliance and a positive company culture, which is how hiring or outsourcing will establish these core functions and keep them ticking over.
Can small businesses afford HR?
It depends on your budget, but many small businesses won’t be able to afford a team of internal experts. This is why outsourcing and tailoring your needs specifically with external experts will keep costs down while ensuring legal compliance.
Do strartups need HR?
It’s not a legal requirement under UK employment law, but it will significantly help your business get up and functioning faster. This is where outsourcing to external professionals, even for a short-term contract, can help you establish the right policies, procedures, and company culture.
What is the role of HR in a startup company?
The role is one of a strategic approach to business growth, compliance with UK employment laws, and building company culture. With professionals hard at work, it helps with employee lifecycles (recruitment, onboarding, resignations etc.), payroll, and performance management. All of these steps can help your business thrive.
