Many people running small businesses in the UK are experts in their field. From Accountants all the way through to Zoologists, there are millions of businesses, many of whom employ, who are the very best at what they do in their own particular niche.

However the reality of running a small business is that more often than not small business owners have to wear a bunch of different ‘hats’. They need to market their business, promote their service and deliver. They need to manage teams, look after their accounts and be strategic about the future of their business.

Most business owners I know have a few choices when dealing with the extra duties which come with business ownership however the smart ones understand something really important…

Whilst it may have more of an impact on small businesses pockets often the best (and most efficient) way of dealing with a problem is to get an expert to help you…

Auto Enrolment is no exception.

It’s strange…

So many small businesses are experts in their own right. They intrinsically understand the benefits of getting an expert in when it comes to their particular industry, sector or niche. They serve businesses who understand the importance of doing so too.

However when it comes to complying with automatic enrolment legislation, often an area which they know very little about, they decide to take a DIY approach.

Let’s be clear….

Employers can comply with automatic enrolment on their own once they’ve taken the time to understand what they need to do, when they need to do it and the decisions they need to make.

Investing in someone or something to support them through this process might be a far better way forward…

There is a wide range of support when it comes to helping employers through automatic enrolment and unfortunately a recent example (which you can read about here) showed that if the professional helping you doesn’t truly understand what needs to be done or how to do it this can mean pretty expensive consequences.

Finding the right person to help you is obviously one challenge….however there is another.

If you’re running a small business (or you’re a professional who helps small businesses with automatic enrolment) you know that the budgets you’ve assigned to deal with automatic enrolment are tight.

It’s a challenge all small business owners face….and it’s the reason we designed AE in a Box
