Startup HR Packages
HR foundations for teams of 5–50, built in weeks.
Startups don't need an HR department. They need the foundations done properly, once: contracts, a handbook people read, and managers who know the basics. Everything else can wait.
What's included
- Day-one compliant contracts for every role type
- A short, sharp handbook covering what actually matters
- Onboarding and probation frameworks that get used
- Founder coaching on the people calls you'll face first
- A direct line to us for year one — pay-as-you-go, no retainer
Where retainer firms fall short
- Retainers sized for corporates, sold to startups
- Foundations stretched over six billable months
- Template packs with zero tailoring
- Nobody picks up when the first real problem lands
How it runs
The process, in four moves
01
One scoping call
Team size, roles, plans. We quote a fixed fee on the call.
02
Foundations built in weeks
Contracts, handbook, frameworks — drafted, tailored, delivered.
03
Founders briefed
A working session so you know exactly what you have and how to use it.
04
On call as you grow
When hiring gets messy or someone quits loudly, we're one message away.
If this matter turns legal — a claim, a contentious dismissal, a discrimination allegation — we bring in Bonsai Law, an SRA-regulated law firm, with your consent and full context handed over. You never pay lawyer rates for HR work, or HR rates for legal work.
