For founders

HR that does not become your second job.

Put the people basics on solid ground without hiring an HR team or becoming a spreadsheet custodian.

What does HollyHR do for founders?

For a small-company founder, HR software should remove loose ends: who has signed what, who is away, what each person is entitled to and where the latest record lives.

HollyHR organises the system of record; it does not replace employment-law advice, managed payroll or a qualified HR adviser when the situation needs one.

What matters

Start properly

Set up people, working patterns, leave and documents before improvised admin becomes a habit.

Stay in the loop

See approvals, new starters and absences without asking three people or checking a private spreadsheet.

Keep your options

Export the organisation's records and uploaded files without a cancellation obstacle course.

What should the software take off your plate?

The useful test is not how many menu items the product has. It is whether the recurring people jobs become easier, safer and less dependent on one person's memory.

  • A single record for each person
  • Leave balances that respect part-time patterns
  • Simple manager and employee self-service
  • Straightforward pricing as headcount changes

What stays human?

HollyHR organises the system of record; it does not replace employment-law advice, managed payroll or a qualified HR adviser when the situation needs one.

HollyHR keeps the facts and routine workflow clean so the humans involved can spend their judgement where it matters.

Questions people ask

Is HollyHR free for a small team?

Yes. The Free plan covers up to 10 active employees and includes the core HR product. HollyHR is in early access, so teams join the list before onboarding.

Can managers and employees use it themselves?

Yes. Employees can manage everyday self-service tasks and managers can handle the team actions their role allows, without receiving blanket HR access.

Can we export our data later?

Yes. Data portability is a product promise, not a retention tactic: organisation records and uploaded files can be exported without asking sales for permission.
