Who we work with/Small business

Rippling set up right from day one, without an HR team.

Payroll gets run between other jobs. We set Rippling up properly so it runs itself, and stay on call for when it doesn’t.

At 5 to 50 people, everyone wears several hats.

There’s rarely a dedicated HR or IT person, so Rippling needs to work without constant attention.

01Payroll is run by a founder or office manager.
02Your first hire in a second state or country.
03Onboarding and laptops handled by whoever is free.
04No time to learn every Rippling setting.

Questions from small businesses

Can't find what you need? Talk to our team.

Are we too small to need a partner?
+

Not if payroll mistakes or slow onboarding are taking up your time. A short QuickStart costs less than fixing a bad setup later.

Can you run payroll for us after go-live?
+

Yes. Managed Payroll covers each cycle, tax filings and employee questions.

What if we grow quickly?
+

We set Rippling up with room to add states, entities and modules without starting again.

Small team, big to-do list? Let’s take Rippling off it.
