The Support
Office
Work is more enjoyable when people can focus on what they’re good at.
But when certain tasks aren’t your strength, or when work simply becomes too much, it can start to weigh you down.
The Support Office steps in as an external partner and takes full ownership of that work, from HR and operations to events and day-to-day support for leaders.
Our support can be temporary or long term.
We don’t just help out; we take responsibility.
We work with companies in Spain and the Netherlands, and support clients remotely.

Contracts, payroll and cross-border compliance, performance management, salary benchmarking, bonus and incentive structures, employee relations, and internal policy design.
Recruitment & Hiring Systems

Operational & Location Setup
Company setup, legal coordination, payroll systems, vendor management, office search, and relocation support.
Executive Support
A hands-on right hand for busy founders and leaders, handling everything from operations to the unexpected.

Working with The Support Office helped me structure ideas that had been in my head for a long time.
The team quickly understood both the business and the people behind it, helped prioritise what mattered most, and turned the first steps into action.
It’s been such a pleasure working with The Support Office.
They stepped in at a time when our HR team was stretched and quickly brought structure and calm to what felt overwhelming. With very little onboarding, they took ownership straight away and added value from day one, providing steady support until we grew our internal HR team.
Whenever work becomes too much, The Support Office is the one we call.
They jump in straight away, quickly understand what’s going on, and get things done.
They also organised a four-day workation in Barcelona for us, which was a big success.
