HR Shouldn't Be This Difficult.
Most business owners didn't start a company to spend their time managing paperwork, chasing approvals and updating spreadsheets.
AssistHR helps UK businesses simplify HR, stay organised and spend more time focusing on their people.
HR Lives In Too Many Places.
Talk to any UK business owner and the story is the same. Contracts in a drive somewhere. Holidays buried in email threads. Timesheets on paper. And the only person who knows where it all lives is one step away from leaving.
A day of "where is that?"

Two people booked the same week
Spreadsheet last updated by… nobody knows
Where's the GDPR acknowledgement?
Asked three people. Still looking.
Then enterprise HR vendors try to sell you a six-month implementation and a £40k contract. No thanks.
Everything, where you'd expect it.

Whatever Shape Your Business Is.
Three very different operations. Same need: less admin, more clarity, more time with their people.
Small Businesses
You're the founder, the manager and — until now — the HR department. AssistHR replaces the spreadsheets and the post-it notes with one place that's actually maintained. Contracts, leave, documents, done.

Going from 10 to 50 people breaks the old way of doing things. Approvals get missed, onboarding slips, nobody's sure who reports to whom. AssistHR gives you the structure to grow without slowing down.

Traditional HR Software vs AssistHR
Most HR platforms were built for enterprise IT teams. We built AssistHR for the people actually running UK businesses.
Built for enterprise.
- Complex — modules within modules within modules
- Expensive — per-seat fees designed for 1,000+ employees
- Difficult to implement — months of setup and training
- Built for enterprise — your team isn't the customer
Built for UK SMEs.
- Simple. If a manager can't use it in 30 seconds, we redesign it.
- Practical. Built around the jobs you actually need to get done.
- Fast to launch. Import your team and go live the same day.
- Built for UK SMEs. Statutory leave, bank holidays, UK GDPR — by default.
Four Things We Refuse To Compromise On.
Simplicity
Every screen earns its place. If something can be removed without losing value, it is. The result: software your team picks up on day one without a training session.
Two taps. Done.
Practicality
We build features that solve real problems UK businesses face today — not theoretical capabilities for a deck. If it doesn't save you time this week, it doesn't ship.
This week, customers saved
Security
Encryption in transit and at rest. Role-based access. Full audit trails. UK-hosted data with UK GDPR baked in. The boring stuff, done properly.
