🌱 Ready to grow your business?

Here's what it really costs to hire in the UK 🇬🇧

As a small business, I’ve learned that wages are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to employment. If you're thinking about expanding your team, here’s what you’ll need to budget for—beyond the payslip:

✨ Employer National Insurance – 15% of salary

 ✨ Pension Contributions – Minimum 3%

 ✨ Holiday Pay – 5.6 weeks annually

 ✨ Statutory Leave Pay – Sick, maternity, paternity, and more

 ✨ Other essentials – Training, insurance, payroll, HR compliance

That means a £30,000 salary could actually cost £40,000+ per year once everything is factored in.

But what if you just need a little help—just a few hours a week? Someone to lighten the load, make a few calls, tidy up your CRM, manage emails, help with your social media pages or handle invoicing, for example (the list goes on).

That’s where Ebb Assist Ltd comes in. With our background in recruitment, we specialise in pairing businesses with the right VA or Freelancer to help you grow without the overheads.

Whether it’s admin, marketing, customer service or even something more complex —we’re here to help your business go from strength to strength 💪
