What is PEO?

Learn what a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) is, how it
works, and whether it's right for your growing business — explained by PEO Advocate Suzanna Martinez.

What is PEO Broker?

A PEO broker is an independent advocate who helps businesses shop, compare, and negotiate with multiple PEO companies to find the best fit — and stays involved throughout the entire relationship to ensure the PEO delivers on its promises.

How are PEO Brokers Paid?

A PEO broker is typically paid by the PEO company, payroll provider, or insurance carrier that the client selects — not by the client directly. This means businesses can access expert PEO guidance at no out-of-pocket cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About PEO Brokers

What is a PEO broker?

A PEO broker is an independent consultant who helps businesses compare, evaluate, and select the best Professional Employer Organization for their specific needs. Unlike working directly with a single PEO, a broker compares multiple providers to find the optimal fit.

How much does a PEO broker cost?

PEO broker services are typically free to businesses. Brokers are compensated by the PEO providers when a client signs a contract—similar to how insurance brokers work.

What’s the difference between a PEO and a staffing agency?

A PEO creates a co-employment relationship where your employees remain your employees, while the PEO handles HR, payroll, and benefits administration. A staffing agency provides temporary workers who are employees of the agency, not your company.

How long does it take to switch to a PEO?

Most PEO implementations take 30-60 days from contract signing to go-live, depending on the complexity of your payroll and benefits setup.

Does a company save money by using a PEO broker versus going directly to a PEO?

You certainly can go directly to a PEO company. However, working with a PEO broker typically results in better outcomes—and often meaningful cost savings—at no cost to you. A PEO broker helps you shop and compare multiple vetted PEOs side-by-side, negotiates pricing and contract terms on your behalf, and leverages established relationships and volume discounts that are not generally available to companies going direct.
