Solutions / Small businesses
Start small, and build good compliance habits
Give your team a clear home for the records you keep, the evidence behind them and the next piece of work. Start free, and bring in a professional when you need one.
Who a small business answers to
- The lawThe Commission
To know whether you must register or file, and the records behind it.
Registration - ClientsThe people you serve
A clear notice of what you collect, and answers when they ask.
Notices register - Your teamThe people doing the work
A short list of who is doing what next.
People register - AdvisersYour DPO or DPCO
Access to the records they need for the work you agreed, and no more.
Engagements
What a small business is asked, and the record that answers
- The founder
“Do we need to file anything?”
Start with what you already know
Record the processing you do today: client contacts, staff records, the website form. Asiri asks plain questions and tells you what those answers mean for registration and returns.
What Asiri keeps
- Your processing activities
- Your registration position
- What to do next
- Someone new on the team
“Who is looking after this?”
Share the work across the team
Give each record an owner and a date. A small team does not need a compliance department, just a clear list of who does what next.
What Asiri keeps
- An owner for each record
- Tasks with dates
- Evidence attached to the work
- The owner, before signing
“Can our adviser see everything?”
Bring in expertise on your terms
Find a DPO or licensed DPCO in the marketplace, agree the scope and approve exactly the access you want to give. Your records stay yours.
What Asiri keeps
- The agreed scope
- The access you approved
- When that access ends
How the work runs with a small team
- Create your workspace
- Record the essentials
- Invite your team
- Review and grow
Start with core records
Bring the processing activities and responsibilities you know into a free company workspace.
Work together
Assign ownership, collect supporting information and keep reviews moving.
Bring expertise when needed
Find a professional, agree the scope and approve the access your company wants to grant.
The registers a small business starts with
Where Asiri stops
Your company owns its records. Software plans, professional services and statutory fees are separate. Specialist and regulated work retains its role requirements.
What small businesses ask before they start
- Is Asiri free for a small business?
- You can start with a free company workspace for your core records. Paid plans, professional services and statutory fees are separate.
- Do we need a DPO?
- It depends on what you process and how much. Asiri helps you work out your position, and a professional can confirm it.
- Can an adviser see all our records?
- Only what you approve. You grant access for an engagement, and you can narrow or withdraw it yourself.
- Do we have to file an annual return?
- Not every business does. The NDPA page has a short check; a licensed DPCO files the return when one is due.
