You’re Too Big to Wing It. Too Small to Staff a Full HR Team.
At 50 employees, one termination handled wrong can cost you more than an HR team for a year. At 200 employees, you have ACA obligations, multi-state compliance risks, and benefit administration complexity that requires a specialist.
But most SMBs don’t need a $120K HR director. They need an expert on call — someone who knows employment law, handles situations with authority, and keeps the organization protected as it grows.
- Compliance gaps that multiply as your headcount grows
- One-person HR teams wearing too many hats with no backup
- Benefits administration that’s a full-time job nobody fully owns
- Managers handling employee situations without any HR guardrails
- Payroll and policy errors that accumulate until they become claims

SMB Clients on Working With Catapult
