We are working to revamp this article, add more content, new providers, recommendations and hands on reviews from startups in our networks. So if you're an avid user of payroll software for startups please get in touch!

I have updated this guide with more valuable information, added an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and revamped some of the information to make it easier to digest! If you're trying to find out how to register a company in the UK then this should help you!

Thanks Ricardo! BreatheHR are a great option - there are quite a few hr systems for small business out there, since creating this article had quite a few reach out to me haha. Trying to keep this guide affiliate free and just focus on the good, bad and ugly of real hr systems that small businesses use - gotta keep it real here.

Love this - hr software can be a real pain - laying out the best hr software for small businesses was a great idea! Thanks James.

It absolutely can! I’m considering adding some research papers on HR to strengthen the argument I’m making here—HR software for small businesses is incredibly important. In fact, HR software for startups is essential right from the beginning of their journey!

We created this guide to emphasize these key points and highlight why investing in the right HR tools early on is a game-changer.

Love this - I'm terrible with names! I'm happy we settled with Startup Networks!
