HiBob's Award-winning Software for Small Business
Modern payroll built for people, not just payments
HiBob's Payroll Suite brings together US payroll, UK payroll and Payroll Hub in one modular platform so businesses can choose the setup that fits their needs. For small U.S. businesses, HiBob offers a complete allâ€'inâ€'one HCM solution with flexible pay cycles and pay types, federal and state tax filing and 1099 contractor support. UK organisations benefit from endâ€'toâ€'end payroll that is HMRCâ€'compliant, supports IRâ€'35 contractors and centralises payslips, P11Ds and P60s.

FAQs: Choosing Payroll Software for Small Business

Is HiBob suitable for small businesses with 30-300 employees?

How does HiBob ensure the security and privacy of payroll data?
HiBob maintains compliance with SOC and ISO certifications, uses a privacyâ€'first AI architecture and provides auditâ€'ready reports. Data lives in one secure platform rather than being transferred between systems, which reduces exposure and ensures a single source of truth.
