Our story

We help small businesses stay compliant and thrive

KornerIQ was born from a simple observation: small business owners are brilliant at running their shops — but compliance admin was costing them hours every week. We built the tool we wish had existed.

Today KornerIQ helps corner shops, newsagents, off-licences, cafés and hundreds of other small businesses across the UK manage their staff, stay on top of right-to-work requirements, and never miss a critical deadline.

Our mission

We believe every small business owner deserves the same compliance tools that large companies take for granted — without the enterprise price tag or the IT team to run it.

A missed right-to-work check can result in a fine of up to £60,000 per employee. An expired visa can halt operations. Yet most small businesses are still managing this on paper or spreadsheets.

KornerIQ exists to change that. We put a compliance command centre in every small business owner's pocket — affordable, simple, and built specifically for the UK market.

What we stand for

The principles that guide everything we build.

🏪

Built for real businesses

We built KornerIQ after seeing small business owners struggle with spreadsheets, paper files and missed compliance deadlines. Every feature solves a real problem we heard from real owners.

🇬🇧

UK-first

KornerIQ is designed specifically for UK compliance law — right-to-work checks, UK visa categories, and GDPR requirements. Not a generic tool retrofitted for the UK.

🔒

Security & privacy

Your employee data is sensitive. We treat it that way — encrypted at rest and in transit, with row-level security ensuring your data is never visible to other businesses.

💡

Simple, not simplified

Compliance is complex. We make it simple to manage — without dumbing it down. KornerIQ gives you the full picture without burying you in it.
