Startups in the UK right now

Startups drive UK innovation.
We want to fuel yours.

Over 800,000 startups launch in the UK every year. They create jobs, challenge the status quo, and build the products and services that shape our future. But in those early days, every pound matters.

Getting HR right from the start isn't a nice-to-have — it's how you build a team that lasts. But you shouldn't need enterprise budgets to track leave properly. That's why every eligible UK startup gets 25% off Leavely while you're finding your feet.

Leavely is proudly built in the UK, for UK businesses. Supporting startups isn't just good business — it's investing in the companies that will shape the UK economy for decades to come.

Startup pricing questions

Who qualifies for the startup discount?▾
UK-based startups with fewer than 10 employees that have been trading for under 2 years. You don't need a Companies House number — pre-incorporation startups and sole traders can also apply. We verify eligibility on a case-by-case basis.
How much does Leavely cost for startups?▾
Startups pay £6 per user per month — 25% off the standard £8/user/month price. All features are included, no tiers or hidden fees. Every account starts with a free 14-day trial.
Do startups get the same features?▾
Yes, absolutely. Startup accounts get full access to every Leavely feature — visual leave calendar, one-click approvals, automatic balance tracking, TOIL, Bradford Factor, document management, reports, and priority support. Nothing is locked or limited.
What happens when we grow past 10 employees?▾
You move to the standard £8/user/month pricing. There's no disruption to your account — your data, settings, policies, and team all stay exactly as they are. It's a seamless transition, and a sign your startup is doing well.
Do I need a Companies House number to qualify?▾
No. Companies House registration is optional. We understand that many early-stage startups haven't incorporated yet. If you're pre-incorporation or operating as a sole trader, you can still apply. We'll verify your eligibility based on the information you provide.
How long does the startup discount last?▾
The startup discount applies while your business meets the eligibility criteria — under 10 employees and under 2 years old. Once you grow past either threshold, you move to standard pricing. It's designed to give you a leg up while you're getting started.
Can I still get the free trial?▾
Yes! Every startup gets the same 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required. The startup discount is applied when you subscribe after the trial.
