UNIcycle Business Consulting

What UNIcycle Business Consulting does

UNIcycle Business Consulting is a private, founder-owned HR consulting firm headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, founded in 2017 by Tami Parker. The company operates as an outsourced "off-site HR department" for small businesses that cannot support a full-time internal HR function, delivering a portfolio of services including Full HR Services (starting at $850/month subscription), project-based HR packages, documentation and legal/compliance support (handbooks, policies, Spanish translation), recruiting, performance management and coaching, a Manager's Boot Camp training program, and an à la carte quick-advice service called HR-CPR priced at $150 per session.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform; its offering is fundamentally human-capital and advisory in nature, relying on the 30+ years of corporate HR experience of founder and CEO Tami Parker and the operational expertise of HR Specialist Sarah Britton, who joined as the first full-time employee in fall 2022. Service delivery is conducted through direct consulting engagements, supplemented by free 1-hour discovery consultations booked via the As.me scheduling platform, content marketing through an active blog and email newsletter, and community engagement in the Northern Colorado small-business ecosystem.

The business is bootstrapped with no external funding and operates primarily in Colorado, serving an estimated 27 small-business clients across diverse verticals. GTM is sales-led, driven by founder-led consultations, referrals, and earned media (Voyage Denver, Burned and Better Podcast). The company won the 2022 Best of Fort Collins Award in Human Resource Consulting. Pricing is transparently published on the Work With Us page, with the recurring Full HR Service subscription forming the revenue backbone supplemented by project work and HR-CPR transactions.

Direct peers

• Gusto: HR, payroll, and benefits platform purpose-built for small businesses. Competes with UNIcycle for the same SMB customer base by offering software-driven HR support at low monthly price points — a key competitive threat.
• TriNet: PEO offering HR outsourcing, benefits administration, payroll, and compliance for small and mid-sized businesses. Directly competes with UNIcycle for SMB HR outsourcing budgets, with broader scale and technology platform.
• Justworks: PEO/HR platform serving small businesses with payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR support. Targets the same 'too small for full-time HR' segment UNIcycle serves, with technology-enabled delivery model.
• Bambee: Provides dedicated HR managers to small businesses via subscription model — highly analogous to UNIcycle's 'Off Site HR Department' positioning. Closest direct peer in business model and target customer.
• BambooHR: HR software platform for small and mid-sized businesses covering hiring, onboarding, performance, and culture. Competes with UNIcycle for SMB HR budgets through technology rather than human advisory.
• Insperity: PEO providing full-service HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance for SMBs. Comparable to UNIcycle as an outsourced HR solution targeting businesses that cannot support dedicated in-house HR staff, though at significantly larger scale.
• Xenium HR: Outsourced HR provider for SMBs in the Pacific Northwest, offering HR consulting, compliance, and people operations support. Comparable service mix and SMB-focused positioning to UNIcycle, with regional scope.
• Sequoia One: HR consulting and PEO services for growing businesses, formerly Sequoia Consulting Group. Provides fractional HR and compliance support comparable to UNIcycle's offerings at larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Paychex: Large incumbent provider of payroll, HR, benefits, and insurance services primarily serving SMBs. Overlaps with UNIcycle's HR/benefits/compliance scope but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• ADP: Global incumbent in payroll, HR, tax, and benefits administration, with significant SMB market share via RUN Powered by ADP. Competes broadly with UNIcycle on HR outsourcing for small businesses, though at vastly greater scale and breadth.
