  • You worry about making a mistake that could lead to a tribunal claim
  • You're handling disciplinaries, grievances and staff issues on your own

That’s Exactly Why We Created the Free Starter Plan

Running a business is hard enough without second-guessing your HR decisions.

With recent changes in UK employment law and ongoing updates to rights, responsibilities and compliance requirements, it’s even easier for small business owners to feel overwhelmed and exposed.

You shouldn’t have to choose between paying for expensive retainers or taking legal risks because you’re unsure what to do.

We’re offering the Starter Plan for free because we understand just how challenging these legal shifts can be when you’re trying to start or grow a business. As business owners ourselves, we’ve felt that pressure too:  balancing cash flow, customers, growth and your team while trying to keep up with compliance. Our mission is to make the people side of running a business simpler and safer so more small businesses can adapt to change and reduce the risk. 

Just the essential tools and guidance you need to stay compliant with current employment law, handle people issues properly, reduce risk and build a thriving business.
