FAQs

What is PEO Marketplace?

PEO Marketplace is a PEO comparison and matching platform designed to help businesses find, evaluate, and connect with the best PEO provider for their specific needs.

Unlike traditional brokers or PEO sales reps, we work for you—not the PEOs. Our mission is to:

  • Match your business with the most suitable PEO based on industry, size, and HR needs.
  • Compare multiple PEO providers side by side, ensuring transparency on pricing and services.
  • Negotiate better rates and contract terms on your behalf.
  • Provide expert guidance throughout the process—so you don’t have to navigate the PEO landscape alone.

We serve businesses of all sizes and industries, with a special focus on high-risk sectors such as construction, roofing, manufacturing, and tree-cutting, where finding the right PEO coverage can be challenging.

We make the PEO selection process simple and hassle-free by guiding you through four key steps:

1. Consultation & Business Assessment

We start with a free consultation to understand your business:

  • What HR challenges are you facing?
  • What’s your current payroll and employee structure?
  • Do you need workers’ comp, employee benefits, risk management, or all of the above?
  • Are you looking to switch from a current PEO or starting fresh?

The more we know, the better we can match you with the right PEO provider.

2. PEO Matching & Vetting

Once we understand your needs, we leverage our extensive network of vetted PEO providers to find the best options.

  • We screen PEOs based on industry, pricing, and service quality.
  • We weed out providers with hidden fees, weak compliance support, or poor customer service.
  • We ensure that only the best-fit PEOs make it to your shortlist.

3. Side-by-Side PEO Comparison

You’ll receive a detailed comparison of PEO providers, breaking down:

  • Payroll processing, benefits, and HR support each PEO offers.
  • Insurance costs (health, workers’ comp) and related fees.
  • Compliance support & risk management solutions.
  • Technology platforms & integrations with your existing systems.

We take the guesswork out of PEO selection, so you can make a data-driven decision.

4. Implementation & Ongoing Support

Once you choose a PEO, we ensure a smooth transition by:

  • Helping with contract negotiations to avoid unfavorable terms.
  • Overseeing implementation, including payroll and HR system integrations.
  • Providing ongoing support to ensure your PEO delivers the promised services.

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) can transform how you manage HR, payroll, and employee benefits. Here’s how:

  • Attract & Recruit Top Talent – Offer competitive benefits that make your company more attractive to skilled employees.
  • Reduce Legal & Compliance Risks – Stay up to date with complex federal and state employment laws.
  • Save Time & Resources – Offload administrative HR tasks so your team can focus on growing the business.
  • Lower Insurance Costs – Access better health insurance and workers’ comp rates through the PEO’s group buying power.
  • Improve Workplace Safety & Risk Management – Reduce workplace accidents and claims while ensuring compliance with OSHA and state regulations.

PEOs provide an all-in-one HR solution, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently, reduce overhead costs, and minimize risk.

We work with businesses across a wide range of industries, including:

🏗 Construction – Ensuring compliance with workers’ comp and safety regulations.
🔨 Roofing – Securing affordable workers’ comp rates and payroll solutions.
🌳 Tree Cutting & Landscaping – Helping high-risk businesses find reliable PEOs.
🏥 Healthcare – Managing payroll, compliance, and employee benefits.
🏪 Retail & Hospitality – Streamlining HR, payroll, and labor law compliance.
📦 Warehousing & Logistics – Handling risk management and workforce safety programs.
💻 Technology & Professional Services – Offering customized HR and compliance support.

💡 Specialty: Many businesses in high-risk industries struggle to find competitive PEO coverage—we specialize in finding the right solutions where others can’t.

PEO pricing varies based on:

📌 Number of employees & payroll size
📌 Services needed (HR, payroll, benefits, compliance, etc.)
📌 Industry risk level (high-risk businesses often pay higher workers’ comp rates)

Most PEOs charge using one of two models:

1️⃣ Flat fee per employee (e.g., $50–$150 per employee per month)
2️⃣ Percentage of total payroll (e.g., 2–6% of total wages)
