Who We Work With

Wherever your team is, we can help.

We work with small businesses across every sector. What matters is your size and stage, not your industry.

1–5

Getting the basics right

You've hired your first few people and want to do it properly, contracts, policies, and knowing what you're legally required to do.

6–20

Building real structure

Your team is growing and things are starting to feel less informal. You need proper processes for performance, absence, and everyday people management.

20–50

Scaling with confidence

You're managing a sizeable team and need HR that keeps pace, from development frameworks to handling more complex situations properly.

Not sure which one sounds like you? Book a free call and let's figure it out together.

Is This The Right Fit?

Honest about who we're best for.

No flannel here either. Here's a straight answer on where The Pocket HR fits well, and where it might not.

✓ The Pocket HR Pros

One dedicated advisor, not a rotating call centre or account handover
Plain-English guidance, no legal jargon or scare tactics
Flexible ways to work together, from a single £75 session to a full retainer
CIPD Level 7 qualified advice, grounded in current employment law
Free 20-minute call before you commit to anything

– Worth Knowing

As a solo consultancy, support is by appointment, not a 24/7 call centre
Not set up for on-site health & safety inspections or fire risk assessments
Businesses over 50 employees may be better served by a bigger in-house team
No built-in payroll software, though I can point you to the right tools

If that still sounds like a good fit, the free call is the easiest way to find out for certain.
