Best HR Admin Support For Small Businesses
Onboarding, contracts, absence and recruitment admin can all be outsourced — for less than the cost of a part-time HR hire.
Most UK SMEs with 5–50 staff don't have full-time HR — they have a founder, an office manager or a finance lead doing HR admin in the gaps. That's where mistakes creep in: missing contracts, lost right-to-work checks, holiday spreadsheets out of date.
HR365 from VA365 fixes the admin layer cost-effectively. We onboard new starters, chase references, run absence trackers, keep policies current and support recruitment admin — leaving employment-law advice to specialist HR consultants when needed.
For most SMEs, HR365 costs a third of a part-time HR manager and covers 80% of the practical workload.
