Why it matters
Strong companies are built by strong people practices, long before they need a full HR team.
The way you hire, set expectations, handle difficult conversations and reward good work decides who joins, who stays and how fast you can grow. Get it right early and it compounds. Get it wrong and the cost shows up as lost talent, slow hiring and disputes that consume the leadership team.
- Keep the people you hiredClear roles, fair pay and good managers are what hold a team together through growth.
- Stay ahead of the riskSound contracts and consistent processes prevent problems, and make the ones that do arise far cheaper to resolve.
- Give leadership time backFounders and managers stop spending evenings on people issues that an expert can handle in an hour.

Questions
How is this different from a low-cost HR helpline?
A helpline gives you whoever answers the phone. KoreHR gives you one senior expert who knows your business, your people and your plans, and who works on prevention and growth as well as problems.
How does pricing work?
One fixed monthly fee set by the number of employees you have. It includes a named consultant, a monthly hours allowance and a compliance calendar. Extra work is billed at a reduced retainer rate.
Is there a minimum contract?
Three months. After that the agreement rolls monthly with 30 days' notice.
Can you give legal advice?
We give practical HR advice grounded in UK employment law. For litigation or formal legal opinions we work with employment solicitors and can introduce you.
