When I started my business, I knew I wanted our HR services to be flexible and tailored to what each company truly needs. As a small business owner myself, I understand that budgets are tight, and HR needs can be unpredictable. You might not want to pay high fees for a service you rarely use, but when challenges arise, you need support you can rely on.
In my experience, any business with employees needs some form of HR support. If you want an engaged team doing their best work, it’s even more important to have a proactive HR partner who helps you take care of your people effectively.
I’ve always been passionate about helping small businesses succeed. I know how quickly your focus can shift—from driving growth to suddenly navigating HR issues. That’s why we created our flexible HR solutions: to support SMEs that are growing and looking after their teams.
Rethinking HR for Small Businesses
One of our biggest challenges has been pricing services in a way that stays affordable and flexible while offering the proactive support small businesses need. At GFHR Consulting, we know every business is different. Over the past year, we’ve reviewed our services and pricing to ensure fairness, transparency, and the ability to provide consistent, valuable support.
From that work, we developed the HR Service Stack — a modular approach to HR support, like building blocks. You can start with just what you need now and add more as your business evolves.
All businesses need solid documentation, including contracts and employment handbooks. Our HR Foundations package is where all businesses should start. The HR documents and processes you have in place, set the tone and expectations for your employees. We make sure everything is tailored to your business and fully compliant.
We understand that HR admin can be a time consuming task, so you can then add our HR Essentials package. This gives you access to an HR system which can be essential for supporting your business to run efficiently, by tracking holidays and leave, employee details and training. By having our HR Essentials support we can take away an HR admin headache.
Of course, many small businesses soon find they need a little more day-to-day HR support — but hiring a full-time HR professional might not make financial sense. That’s where HR Everyday comes in. We provide expert HR advice and support, on call whenever you need it. If your HR needs become more complex, then we have our HR Projects block, which you can stack with your existing HR package, to give you more support with any Employee relations issues or recruitment support. It’s a seamless extension of your business — a real partnership that ensures your people practices evolve as you do.
And for businesses who need even more hands-on help, we offer HR Onsite — with a dedicated HR consultant working alongside your team in person, providing flexible support tailored exactly to your size and set-up, for a fraction of the cost of employing someone in-house. It’s like having your own HR department, just without the overheads.
The beauty of our service is its flexibility. We can mix and match elements to create a fully bespoke package just for you. Whether your business is growing, pivoting, or restructuring, we’re right beside you, adjusting our support to fit your needs. From one-off projects to long-term partnerships, we’re here to help.
We genuinely believe in building lasting relationships with our clients. Our goal is not just to tick boxes, but to truly understand your business, your culture, and your ambitions. That way, we can help you build a thriving, compliant, and engaged team—setting your business up for lasting success.
