When you are looking for PEO services for your company, one of the worst things you can do is a Google Search for “PEO Services” that would best fit your business needs and goals. There are so many variables and other things that the average person who has no experience in the PEO industry could find the answers to by simply Googling or even knowing what to look for. Not all PEO Companies are the same nor do they specialize in all the same needs. Therefore, it is imperative for you to work with a PEO Broker.
It’s like purchasing a car online by just looking at the pictures of the outside paint job. You want to be able to raise the hood and look at the engine for any leaks or faulty connections. You want to look underneath to see if there has been any damage to the frame. You want to know the history of the vehicle, if there have been any accidents, constant unresolved problems, or issues with the vehicle. You want to test drive it to see how smooth it drives, how well it handles on the highway, how much power it has, and how comfortable the seats are. You also want to make sure it has all the latest technology for safety and comfort. You simply want to make sure the price justifies the value. Is this something you can get excited to have for the foreseeable future or will it be instant regret?
There are a few important points to consider when searching for the right PEO
service:
● What is the PEO’s reputation in the industry?
● How strong are their support services?
● Are they a local or a national PEO?
● Where are they licensed to do business?
● How well do they manage their risk?
● How well do they manage their health insurance policy?
● How competitive are their pricing packages?
● What kind of payroll software platform do they use?
If you don’t have any expertise or background in the PEO industry, how do you find these things to protect your financial investment? This service will have a tremendous impact on your business, either positively or disastrously, and for both you and your employees. There are some fantastic PEO services out there, but how do you find the one that best suits your business needs?
Just like any other instance when you want to make an important decision that will have long-term consequences, you need an expert or specialist. A PEO broker that has years of experience in the industry is a great answer. This should not be just a sales rep for the PEO, as they just tell you the best side of that PEO. It should not be an insurance broker that has a PEO that they refer business to either, because most of them don’t understand the ins and outs of the industry any more than anyone else in the general public.
There are a few businesses that have years and years of PEO industry insights and knowledge. Personally, I started in the PEO service world over 25 years ago. I worked for three different PEO services before starting my brokerage firm for PEO services, StroudLink. That was over 18 years ago, and I now have both national and international PEO services in my portfolio. We have virtually the same agreement with every PEO service, so our decisions are not biased but solely committed to finding the best PEO service that will fit your business for the long term and help you grow and flourish.
Furthermore, there is no charge for our services to you, the client. We are only paid by the PEO you ultimately choose for your service. That’s why we pride ourselves in finding the best options as we want to keep you as a long-term client. That can only happen if we’ve earned your trust and provided you with the very best options. It’s that simple!
