Launching a startup is exciting — but between product development, fundraising, and growth, HR often gets pushed aside.
But, ignoring HR too long can create costly mistakes in payroll, hiring, or compliance.
That’s why founders across Michigan turn to Ayoub & Youngren’s HR services for startups to build structure, compliance, and a people-first culture from the start.
We help you create the operational clarity you need to scale — without the cost of a full-time HR team.
Why Startups Can’t Afford to Ignore HR
Startups thrive on speed and innovation, but when HR is neglected, that speed can backfire.
Common issues include:
- Payroll delays and misclassifications that hurt team trust
- Incomplete onboarding that reduces productivity and retention
- Compliance violations that risk fines or lawsuits
- High turnover due to unclear policies or culture gaps
A solid HR foundation ensures your team and systems can grow together.
What Our HR Services for Startups Include
Our HR solutions are built for agility and affordability.
Whether you’re pre-revenue or scaling fast, we provide everything you need to run HR like a pro from day one.
1. HR Setup & Compliance
Every startup needs more than a Slack channel and verbal policies. We build your entire HR infrastructure so you operate legally and smoothly.
We help you:
- Draft custom employee handbooks and policies
- Create offer letters and digital onboarding workflows
- Stay compliant with Michigan and federal labor laws
- Implement basic HRIS and record-keeping systems
With regulations changing constantly — from remote-work rules to paid leave — we make sure you’re never left behind.
2. Payroll & Benefits Made Simple
Managing payroll manually creates errors and stress. We handle it for you so you can focus on strategy and fundraising.
Our team takes care of:
- End-to-end payroll processing and tax filings
- Benefits management (health plans, PTO, retirement)
- Integration with QuickBooks and accounting systems
- Compliance with IRS and Michigan state requirements
With payroll fully automated and auditable, you save hours each week and gain complete financial visibility.

That’s why we offer real-time advisory support for founders and early teams.
We provide:
- Recruiting guidance and job description creation
- Conflict resolution and employee relations coaching
- Culture-building and engagement strategies
- Guidance for managing hybrid or remote teams
We act as your fractional HR department — strategic enough to guide you, hands-on enough to get things done.
