Are You “Too Small for HR”? Think Again.
If you’ve ever found yourself Googling HR questions at midnight or putting out yet another people-related fire, you’re not alone.
Here’s the truth most small business owners don’t realize:
99.9% of all U.S. businesses are small businesses.
Most have fewer than 50 employees.
Yet fewer than 30% have any kind of formal HR structure in place.
And more than 60% of small business owners say managing people issues is their biggest operational headache - even more than sales or cash flow.
That means most small business owners are trying to grow teams, manage compliance, and protect culture without any real HR foundation.
But here’s the good news: no business is too small for HR.
The Truth: You Don’t Need a 100-Page HR Manual
Most small business owners didn’t start their company to become HR professionals. You started because you’re great at what you do - building, creating, serving clients, and leading people who now rely on you to provide stability and direction.
But when “HR” becomes a reactive task instead of a strategic function, it creates chaos. You spend more time putting out fires than focusing on growth.
What your business actually needs isn’t a stack of policies - it’s clarity.
You need right-sized systems that fit your team, your goals, and your current season of business.
At Salt & Light Advisors, we call that HR in a Box.
HR in a Box: Simple, Scalable HR for Small Business
Our HR in a Box program was designed for small to mid-sized businesses - typically those with 5 to 50 employees - who are ready to stop winging it and start leading with structure.
Each month, we unpack one key HR foundation:
Hiring and onboarding with confidence
Building a performance-driven culture
Navigating compliance without the overwhelm
Creating clarity in policies, expectations, and communication
When you stop firefighting and start structuring, you gain what every leader craves most: focus.
Less chaos.
More clarity.
Stronger culture.
Greater peace of mind.
If your business has grown beyond “just a few people,” or if you’ve recently added your first HR coordinator who’s still learning the ropes, this program was built for you.
