HR software for 10 employees — enough structure, no bloat.
This is where memory stops being a dependable HR system, but a heavy enterprise rollout would be absurd.
What HR software does a 10-person company need?
A 10-person company needs one dependable place for people records, leave, sickness, documents and working patterns — with self-service and permissions, but without an enterprise implementation project.
This is where memory stops being a dependable HR system, but a heavy enterprise rollout would be absurd.

Questions people ask
How much is HollyHR for 10 employees?
The Free plan is £0 for up to 10 active employees. There is no card requirement for the Free plan.
Does pricing jump at a headcount band?
No. Standard pricing is per active employee, so one new starter adds £2 per month rather than moving the whole account into a new band.
Can we import an existing staff spreadsheet?
Yes. HollyHR supports CSV import for the core people dataset, and the early-access onboarding process can help you map a clean source file.
Proper HR, without the big-system palaver.
HollyHR is free for up to 10 active people. We're onboarding early-access teams one at a time.
