Frequently asked questions

  • A senior HR professional who works directly with your leadership team, aligning people's decisions with business goals. They shape talent strategy, culture, employee engagement, and growth planning.

  • An HR Advisor handles daily HR tasks, like recruitment, workplace issues, and policy compliance. An HR Business Partner, on the other hand, takes the strategic view, anticipating future needs, managing change, and guiding leadership decisions. Basically, one manages the day-to-day; the other drives the bigger picture. We offer both.

  • UK small businesses and scale-ups with 50–150 employees who need comprehensive and proactive HR outsourcing services but can't justify a full in-house team.

  • UK HRBPs earn £45k on average, rising to £60k+. Our fractional service starts at £1,200/month for a full team and scales with your headcount, delivering the same value at a fraction of the cost.

  • They build a people strategy that grows with you, supports performance management, embeds effective policies, and backs your decisions with HR data and insight. Our HR specialist approach focuses on strategic HR outsourcing services that scale with your business.

  • Nope! We'll start with a discovery call, scope your main challenges, and align on what support you need to drive your business forward.

  • A named People Partner, a support team handling transactional HR, strategic planning (people plan), recruitment oversight, custom HR documentation, and systems. You also get ongoing guidance and operational support.

  • We base pricing on your headcount and actual business needs, not rigid packages. You scale up or down as you grow, with predictable monthly retainer costs and clear deliverables. Our HR advisor and HR specialist team are always happy to talk more about your specific needs.

  • Yes, but selectively. Instead of fully outsourcing HR for small businesses, you keep control of daily operations while getting expert support for complex issues. It's HR for small businesses that grows with you.
