When should we get HR software?

Ideally before your 10th hire. Once you're juggling contracts, time off, and compliance for multiple people, spreadsheets become risky. Factorial helps you establish good practices early.

What are the essential vs nice-to-have features?

Essential: document storage, time-off tracking, digital contracts. Nice-to-have: performance reviews, training management, advanced analytics. Start simple and add features as you grow.

Can Factorial grow with us from 5 to 50+ employees?

Absolutely. Factorial is designed to scale. You only pay for active employees, and you can add features, teams, and permissions as your company grows without switching systems.

Do we need an HR person to set this up?

No, Factorial is founder-friendly. The setup is guided and intuitive. Most startups get running in a few hours. We also provide support and templates to help.

Is this investor-ready?

Yes. Factorial provides clear audit trails, compliant record-keeping, and professional reporting that investors expect. It shows you take people operations seriously from day one.
