About us

Why we started RysUp.

We started RysUp because we kept seeing the same thing. Small businesses doing everything right - good products, good people, hard work - and then getting caught out on HR without ever realising they were exposed. Contracts that hadn't been looked at in years. Disciplinaries handled on gut feel. Decisions made with no one to actually ask, because proper advice always seemed built (and priced) for businesses much bigger than theirs.

Not through carelessness. Just because nobody had ever shown them how, and the alternative - a big provider with a call centre and a five-year contract - never felt like it was actually for them.

So we built RysUp to close that gap: real HR advice from two people who'll actually pick up the phone, at a price a 10-person business can genuinely justify.

Meet the founders

Two founders, not a call centre.

Small on purpose - so you always get a real answer from someone who actually knows your business, not a rotating queue. Every piece of advice, template and client history is logged and shared between us, so nothing depends on one person being reachable at that exact moment.
