OVERVIEW

About Sage HR

**Sage HR** is the HR product within Sage Business Cloud — originally launched as **CakeHR** in Riga, Latvia in 2016 by Latvian founders, acquired by **Sage Group plc** (Newcastle UK, FTSE 100, LSE: SGE) in 2019, and rebranded. The product covers core HR, leave, performance, recruitment, expenses, timesheets, and shift scheduling, with modular pricing from ~£5/user/mo. The parent Sage Group is one of Europe's largest software companies with **no US parent and no US-PE control** — placing Sage HR in a relatively clean UK-jurisdiction bucket (`ownership_signal: other`, post-Brexit UK), with ISO 27001 certification inherited from the group. For SMB buyers who consider UK jurisdiction acceptable, Sage HR is a strong procurement-grade choice.
