Common questions
How much does HR support cost?
Our HR support plans start from £234 a month plus VAT, and the more hours you commit to each month, the lower your hourly rate. You can also pay as you go with no contract, or agree a fixed price for a project. See our prices.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. You can pay as you go with no contract at all. Our plans run for 12 months, and that commitment is what gives you a lower hourly rate.
Who will I work with?
An assigned HR consultant who gets to know you and your business and handles most of your work and day-to-day contact. The wider team of HR consultants, payroll and training specialists also works on your account when needed, and another consultant covers if yours is away.
Do you only work with businesses in Guildford?
No. We are based in Guildford, Surrey, and work with businesses across London, the South East and beyond. Support can be on site or remote.
How are payroll and training priced?
Payroll is charged per payslip, plus VAT, whether you pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly, with a minimum charge of £100 a month and a one-off set-up fee. Training workshops start from £749 plus VAT for a 2.5-hour session, and plan clients can use their plan hours for training.
