Payroll Services from £10 a Week: What Small Employers Need to Check
Outsourced payroll from £10 per week
LimeTree Accounting Solutions offers small-business payroll support starting from £10 per week. The starting price is not a promise that every payroll costs the same: the right fee depends on the number of employees, pay frequency, changes during the period and the work you need. Ask for a quote that confirms exactly what is included before you begin.
What a payroll service may cover
A regular payroll service can help with the recurring administration that sits behind each payday. Depending on the agreed scope, this can include:
- Calculating pay, deductions and statutory payments from the information you provide.
- Preparing payslips and payroll reports.
- Submitting Real Time Information (RTI) to HMRC on or before payday.
- Updating employee records for starters, leavers and tax-code changes.
- Providing figures that support workplace pension processing.
Ask whether payroll setup, year-end tasks, corrections, pension uploads and urgent off-cycle runs are included or priced separately. The employer remains responsible for supplying accurate information on time and meeting its legal duties.
Questions to ask before choosing a payroll provider
- Does the quoted price cover my employee count and weekly or monthly pay frequency?
- What is the deadline for sending hours, bonuses, expenses and staff changes?
- Are payslips and RTI submissions included in the regular fee?
- How are starters, leavers, corrections and pension information handled?
- Who should I contact if a pay detail changes before payday?
Why the lowest headline price is not the whole comparison
Payroll is time-sensitive and contains private employee information. Compare the service process, response times, secure handling of data and clarity of responsibilities alongside the price. A clear monthly or weekly routine helps avoid rushed corrections and gives employees confidence that their pay is being handled carefully.
Is outsourced payroll right for a very small business?
It can be useful even if you employ only one person or pay a director through your company. A provider can help keep calculations, payslips and HMRC submissions organised, while you retain responsibility for approving pay and providing complete information. If your team grows or pay becomes more complex, ask for the fee and process to be reviewed.
