HR Services for Small Local Businesses.
Running a small business means wearing multiple hats – and HR is often one of the trickiest. Whether you’re hiring your first employee or managing a small team, we help local business owners put the right people processes in place to stay compliant, save time, and support growth.
Practical HR Support That Scales With Your Business.
You don’t need a big HR department to get things right – just the right partner. We work with cafés, salons, retailers, trades, creative studios and other local businesses to build straightforward HR systems that work in the real world.
From setting up contracts and policies to dealing with sickness, grievances or payroll queries, our HR support is designed to remove the guesswork and give you confidence. We understand that affordability, reliability and clarity are key – so that’s what we deliver.
We’re often asked: “What HR services do small businesses actually need?” or “Can I outsource HR without losing control?” With Clear Direction, the answer is yes. Our services are fully flexible and always built around your needs, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Affordable, Local, and Built Around You
Whether you’re hiring for the first time or looking to formalise your processes, we can help with everything from offer letters and employee handbooks to disciplinary meetings and redundancy processes.
