HR Outsourcing & HR Support for SMEs

Expert HR support for SMEs across London and the South East, as much or as little as you need.

Managing HR, employee issues, and employment law can take valuable time away from running your business. Our HR support for SMEs gives businesses across Surrey, London, and the wider South East flexible, expert HR and compliance help whenever you need it, onsite or remotely. Unlike traditional outsourcing, our support does not have to be all or nothing. We can take on your entire HR function, or simply work alongside your existing team or managers to provide expert backup, fill skills gaps, or help with specific projects.

Many owners, founders and managers find their time increasingly consumed by HR issues. Employee relations, employment law updates, documentation, policies, and onboarding can easily become overwhelming, and there is also a duty of care over your staff to consider, from wellbeing to ongoing training and development. Having experienced HR support on hand frees up your time so you can focus on running your business, not managing admin.

HR Support Pricing for SMEs

Our HR support for SMEs is available in whatever way works best for your business. Many clients choose an annual plan with a minimum number of hours per month, ranging from two hours right up to 32 hours or more. The more hours you commit to, the lower your hourly rate, and if you need more in any given month you can use additional hours at your plan rate.

We also offer ad-hoc and project-based pricing for businesses that need help with a specific issue or piece of work. There are no hidden costs and no charge per employee, and any unused plan hours carry over for up to two months so you never lose out. View our full pricing here.

How We Will Work With You

With Bespoke HR, you have a dedicated HR Consultant as your primary point of contact. But you are never reliant on just one person, our whole team knows your business, so there is always someone on hand to help, whether your consultant is unavailable or you need extra resource for a larger project. We match you with a consultant who understands your industry and business needs, and can work alongside your existing HR or management team if you have one. Some of our clients hand their entire HR function over to us, while others simply want experienced HR support for their SME at the end of the phone to support their managers or in-house HR team. Either way, you get the same level of care, expertise, and commitment.

We work with businesses across Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex, Berkshire, London and beyond, though most of our clients are based within easy reach of our Guildford office. Whatever your situation, our HR support for SMEs is designed to fit around you, not the other way around.
