Dear Osmanmo,
Going by the list of your requirements to raise the HR department, it appears that you did not have HR department at all. Therefore, at this stage, the only solution that can be offered is to appoint either HR Manager or GM (HR). Let him/her do the rest of the job. While recruiting the candidate, make sure that he/she has worked under senior HR in his/her past career.
About HR Business Partner (HRBP): - There is nothing like HRBP. HR professionals have penchant for developing new concepts to glorify their profession. By creating such new concepts, it is their way of gaining visibility or even staying relevant. Why Finance professionals do not say that they are "Finance Business Partners" or Production professionals do not say they are "Production Business Partners"? Why HR only feels need of becoming business partner? By coining these new terms, HR tries to fight identify crisis which they have been doing it all along since the birth of the function itself. Coining new phrases has not helped HR in gaining many power as such. They are dis-empowered as much dis-empowered personnel managers were in erstwhile era.
Call it by whatever name, HR's basic roles and functions remain same. Moreover, your requirement is to raise the HR department from the scratch. Therefore, your first requirement is to fulfil requirements of Personnel Department of olden times. Then you need it evolve it into HR department and over a period of time get into euphemism like "HRBP". You may leapfrog to HRBP, but it could be risky because you could neglect few basics that are covered in the Personnel Department. By the time you realise what you had neglected, it could be too late to undo the damage.
Thanks,

Yes Mr. Dines Divekar I appreciate your views on evolution of HR
HR is changing its faces right from Personnel Management -- HRM -- HRD -- HRBP -- HRO etc
On each & every transformation of HR organisations are looking for certain value additions
The value addition of HRBP is more as HR professionals will be more with the core business and will have their own strategy to develop the business using the following steps
Hiring the right Talant as required by the business
Have proper induction and encourage the employee to be part of the organisation with the vision & mission
Train them as per the Industry/organisational requirement
Ensure proper Orientation for both Employee & Employer growth and the orientation should be as continuous process
Even HRPB should go out & meet the customers, understand the customer requirements & should try and implement any change if required
HRBP also should have the knowledge of assessing the financials of the organisations where in many of the HR's are not part of that
Engage the employee in their verticals
etc...
In general now a days unlike HR's, HRBP is not handling most of the personnel management assignments such as Payroll, Statutory & compliance etc
