Question 1

What is a PEO?

Accepted Answer

A PEO, or professional employer organization, partners with your business through co-employment. The PEO handles payroll, payroll taxes, employee benefits, workers' comp and HR compliance, often through its own large-group plans and policies. You keep control of hiring, daily work and business decisions. I compare what each PEO includes so you can decide whether one fits your business.

Question 2

When does a PEO make sense for a small business?

Accepted Answer

A PEO may be worth considering when payroll, HR, benefits or workers' comp administration takes time away from running your business. I compare the service, coverage and total cost with your current setup to see whether a change makes sense.

Question 3

What services can a PEO help with?

Accepted Answer

A PEO may help with payroll, HR administration, employee benefits and workers' comp. Services vary by provider. I review what is included, what costs extra and how the support fits your business.

Question 4

How does the comparison work?

Accepted Answer

I review your business, gather suitable PEO proposals and compare costs, workers' comp, payroll, benefits and contract terms. I explain the differences so you can decide which option fits.

Question 5

What information should I have ready?

Accepted Answer

Start with your employee count, work states, industry and priorities. For proposals, I may also need payroll details, workers' comp loss runs and current benefit or PEO costs. I will explain what is needed and how to provide it.

Question 6

Is the PEO comparison free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. My comparison and brokerage guidance cost you nothing, with no obligation to choose a provider. If you select a PEO, you pay that provider for its services, and the PEO pays my commission. I explain those costs before you decide, and I only recommend providers that fit your business.

Question 7

Can you review my current PEO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I can compare your current PEO with other options, including total cost, service, benefits and contract terms. Staying with your current provider may be the right choice; the goal is an informed decision.

Question 8

Do you work with businesses outside Tampa Bay?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I am based in Tampa Bay and help businesses across the continental US compare PEO options. I review where your employees work so the providers I recommend can support your locations.

Question 9

Can brokers, CPAs, and advisors send clients to you?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I work with brokers, CPAs and advisors who want an independent PEO resource for their clients. You and your client work directly with me, drawing on my workers' comp underwriting background and more than a decade of PEO experience. My comparison costs your client nothing. Use the Partners page to tell me about the opportunity.

Question 10

Is PEOBrokerPro independent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I am an independent PEO broker. I compare proposals across providers and explain the costs, coverage, service and contract terms. My goal is to help you choose a fit for your business, including staying with your current provider when that makes sense.
