Payroll services for UK startups and scaleups

Payroll that scales with your ambition

Payroll is one of the first things that can go wrong in a growing startup. Founders get pulled into admin. Mistakes get made. Compliance is missed. And suddenly, you’re wasting time fixing problems instead of building your business.

Our payroll services for UK startups and scaleups help you get payroll right from day one. Whether you’re hiring your first employees or expanding fast, we set up reliable, scalable payroll processes that support your growth, not slow it down.

Payroll services that scale with your startup

We help you build a payroll setup that’s simple, compliant, and built to scale. You won’t have to fix it later when growth kicks in.

From PAYE registration and RTI submissions to pension auto-enrolment and clean, auditable records, we make sure everything’s set up right from day one. You’ll save time, stay fully compliant and avoid the hidden costs of getting it wrong.

We also help you plan ahead with cost visibility, investor-ready reports, and payroll tools that work for your business. We can help you implement the right setup from scratch or connect with the systems you already use. From your first hire to a growing team, your payroll stays accurate, scalable, and easy to manage.
