FAQs
What types of businesses do you work with?
I typically support small and growing businesses across a range of sectors — including service-based companies, housing, tech, and professional services. Whether you’re hiring your first employee or have a larger employee base, I can help.
~
Do I need to have a certain number of employees to work with you?
Not at all. I work with solo founders, micro-businesses, and SMEs. My support is always tailored — from simple advice for early-stage employers to more complex project or people needs.
~
What’s the difference between one-off support and a retainer?
One-off support is perfect for specific needs — like writing a contract, managing a redundancy, or handling an employee issue. A retainer gives you ongoing monthly access to HR support, ideal if you want regular input without hiring someone in-house.
~
Are your contracts and policies legally compliant?
Yes — all documents are aligned with current UK employment law. I stay up to date with legal changes and ensure everything I produce is both compliant and practical for small businesses.
~
Can you support us with something that’s not listed on your website?
Absolutely. The services listed are just examples of common requests — if you need help with something else, feel free to reach out. If it’s not in my wheelhouse, I’ll always try to point you in the right direction.
~
What are your fees?
Pricing depends on the type and scope of support. I offer both hourly rates and fixed-price packages, depending on what suits you best. Retainer clients receive priority access and predictable monthly costs.
~
Do you offer in-person support or is it all remote?
Most of my work is done remotely, which keeps things flexible and efficient. However, I’m happy to discuss in-person support for local clients or specific needs like consultations or facilitation.

Are you covered by professional insurance?
Yes — I hold professional indemnity insurance and operate as a Chartered Member of the CIPD, so you can be confident you're working with a qualified and credible HR professional.
