The Employment Rights Act 2025 is coming, and the more I looked at it, the more one thing struck me: the businesses most exposed to it are the ones least likely to have anyone helping them through it.
Big companies have HR teams and legal budgets. But small businesses? The ones run by people wearing every hat, with no HR person to turn to? They’re carrying the same legal risks, the same tribunals, the same consequences, with none of the support.
And often without even realising how exposed they are.
That didn’t sit right with me. Because when it comes to your people, a small business actually carries the highest risk of all.
A grievance handled badly. A dismissal that isn’t watertight. A discrimination claim you never saw coming.
For a big company, those are bumps. For a small business, any one of them can be the thing that takes you down. And the new legislation only raises the stakes.
You started your business to do the thing you’re brilliant at. Not to lie awake wondering whether that contract’s legal, or whether you handled a situation with a staff member the right way. But that worry sits there, quietly, at the back of your mind.
So I built something for exactly this. Genuine, qualified HR support, made accessible for the small businesses who need it most but might never otherwise be able to reach it.
\ud83d\udc9c\u00a0HR Essentials.
For \u00a3250 a month, you get up to 4 hours of director-level HR expertise, focused on the things that matter most:
\u2714\ufe0f\u00a0A starter set of core HR policy templates and a basic contract template to get you going
\u2714\ufe0f\u00a0Your contracts and policies kept compliant and current
\u2714\ufe0f\u00a0Plain-English heads-up on the changes coming your way, including the ERA
\u2714\ufe0f\u00a0Someone qualified to call BEFORE a small thing becomes a big one
\u2714\ufe0f\u00a0A friendly, experienced HR professional in your corner, not a stranger you scramble to find in a crisis
No full-time salary. No HR department to build. Just senior expertise, there when you need it, for the essentials.
Because it’s a genuinely personal service, I only take on a limited number of Essentials clients at a time, so everyone gets proper attention.
A safe place to land. For you, your business, and your people. \ud83d\udc9c

It’s priced to be accessible for businesses who genuinely can’t afford more. So is offered strictly on the eligibility criteria, and assessed individually. I’ll always be honest if I think you’d be better with a fuller package, but please only use it if you genuinely can’t afford more.
Keeping this tier protected is what keeps it available for the businesses who really need it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
