Fair prices

Expert HR, made affordable.

Hiring an in-house HR Manager costs between £35,000 and £55,000 per year. A Bear and Willow HR retainer gives you CIPD Level 7 qualified HR support, and Breathe HR software, for a fraction of that cost.

Our prices reflect the real value of expert, personalised HR, not a call centre, not a chatbot, not a generic template. Every client gets a named consultant who knows their business, their team, and their situation.

Good HR isn't a luxury. It's what keeps small businesses safe, compliant, and confident. We've simply made it affordable.

HR Documents

Instantly downloadable, ready to use.

Employment Contract

Our Employment Contract Template is a comprehensive, professionally drafted document that covers everything required by law. It includes your written statement of employment particulars, meaning you won't need a separate document. It covers all statutory rights, notice periods, disciplinary and grievance procedures, implied duties, and everything in between.
