Business support that takes the pressure off.
Small businesses don’t always have the time, resources or in-house expertise to deal with every people and business challenge that comes their way.
An employee issue can quickly become an HR problem. A change in legislation can leave you wondering whether your policies are still compliant. A workplace risk might need specialist attention. And when you’re competing for great people, a basic salary may no longer be enough to attract and retain them.
That’s where Omny Group comes in.
HR support
From employment contracts and policies to absence, performance, disciplinaries and grievances, our HR specialists give you practical advice and hands-on support when you need it. Whether you need help with one tricky employee issue or an outsourced HR team to support your small business, we’ll give you the confidence to manage your people well.
Legal support
Employment issues, contracts, business decisions and disputes can carry significant risks for a small business. Our lawyers provide creative (but safe) advice across employment, corporate and commercial law – helping you understand where you stand, make confident decisions and reach the outcome you want.
Health & Safety
Health and safety can sometimes be overlooked in small businesses. But it also shouldn’t mean piles of paperwork and trying to interpret complicated regulations yourself. From risk assessments and audits to fire safety policies and training, our consultants help you meet your responsibilities and create a safer, more confident workplace.
Employee Benefits
For a small business, attracting and retaining good people can be challenging. The right benefits can help you compete while showing employees that you genuinely value them. We’ll help you build a benefits package that works for your people and your budget, including pensions and salary exchange, life assurance, private medical insurance and wellbeing perks.
Stay compliant and always one step ahead
Employment legislation, health and safety responsibilities and business risks can be difficult to keep on top of when you’re already running a business. We help you understand what you need to do, put the right processes in place and deal with problems before they become bigger ones.
Access expertise without building a bigger team
You don’t need to employ an individual HR manager, employment lawyer, Health & Safety consultant and benefits specialist to access their expertise. With Omny Group, you can draw on the right people when you need them, with support that grows alongside your business.
Give your people a better experience
There are many layers to impactful people management. From handling employee issues fairly to creating a physically and psychologically safer workplace and offering meaningful benefits, we help you create an environment where your people feel supported, valued and able (and willing!) to do their best work every day.

Frequently asked questions
What business support does a small business need?
Small businesses often need support across areas such as HR, employment law, health and safety and employee benefits. This can include managing employee issues, keeping contracts and policies up to date, meeting workplace safety responsibilities, resolving legal matters and attracting and retaining good people. Omny brings these areas together, giving small businesses access to specialist support without needing to build every function in-house.
How can your business and people support help a growing small business?
As a small business grows, its people, legal and compliance responsibilities often become more complex. Omny’s business support can help you put the right contracts, policies and processes in place, manage employees effectively, meet Health & Safety requirements and introduce benefits that help attract and retain talent. Having expert support available also means you can deal with challenges confidently as they arise, while building stronger foundations for future growth.
Does data protection law apply to small businesses?
Yes. UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply to any organisation that processes personal data, regardless of size. The documentation required may differ from a large enterprise, but the underlying obligations are the same. The good news is that with the right guidance, compliance for a smaller business is straightforward.
Is HR outsourcing suitable for small businesses?
HR outsourcing can be particularly beneficial for smaller organisations that need access to experienced HR expertise without the cost of employing an internal resource. Our support can be scaled according to your organisation’s size, requirements and budget.
Do small companies have to do risk assessments?
Yes, small businesses are also required to conduct risk assessments. If you have fewer than five employees, you’re not legally obligated to document your findings, but doing so is still recommended. At Omny, we believe safety is essential for every workplace, no matter the size, and we’re here to make the process simple and effective.
