Small and medium-sized businesses are a vital part of Florida’s economy, employing over three million workers according to statistics obtained by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Small and medium-sized businesses, therefore, are responsible for employee nearly half of all workers in the Sunshine State.
Keeping a small business afloat can be difficult, especially as your business grows and takes on more employees. You can find yourself losing countless hours to HR administrative paperwork, instead of running the actual operation of your business. This loss of productivity is why many small business owners in Fort Lauderdale like you turn to professional employer organizations (PEOs).
While a PEO can help you with a wide variety of HR functions, finding the right PEO can be an overwhelming task. Fortunately, our Florida PEO broker team at NetPEO works with businesses in Fort Lauderdale to find a PEO partner to meet the needs of growing small and medium-sized businesses just like yours.
PEO Brokers Work with You
According to the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO), there are nearly 1,000 PEOs working with small businesses across the country. Some PEOs specialize in a small range of HR functions, while others offer complete packages designed to replace an entire HR department. Finding a PEO with the right offerings for your Fort Lauderdale business can be tricky.
Rather than conducting the research yourself, you can turn to a PEO broker like NetPEO. As a PEO broker, it’s our job to take the stress out of finding a PEO with the skills and experience you need to help your business grow.
We start by performing a client analysis of your business. We learn more about your business and what you’re hoping to get out of your PEO partnership. If you aren’t quite sure what you could get out of an HR outsourcing service, our brokers will walk you through your options.
When we have a better idea of what you need for your business to grow, we create a list of PEOs that provide the services you need. These PEOs are carefully selected from our national network of PEO partners, all of whom help us maintain our 100% client satisfaction rating through their exceptional service.
With a list in hand, we help you narrow down the PEOs you want to speak with and help arrange interviews with any PEOs that you believe will fit with your business. When you’ve found the PEO you partner with, we’ll be there to help make sure the process continues to work in your best interest.
If you’re ever dissatisfied with your PEO partnership, don’t hesitate to reach out to our PEO brokers. We’ll be there to help make things right.
Get Time Back While Saving Money for Your Business
What many business owners care about when they speak with our brokers is getting back to running the day-to-day operations of their business. Rather than getting weighed down with the hassle of HR and accounting paperwork, a PEO partnership allows business owners to stay focused on their own clients. Whether it’s through a complete HR bundle or even just access to the most recent accounting software, a PEO partnership will give you additional time running your business.
Fortunately, partnering with a PEO doesn’t have to break the bank. When you agree to work with a PEO, the cost will always be a fraction of what it would take to hire an in-house HR professional to do the same level of work.
PEO Payment Options
PEOs don’t charge all small businesses the same fee. Instead, PEOs work with their business partners to offer a payment plan that works for their partner. Typically, PEOs collect fees through either:
- A flat fee based on the number of employees OR
- A flat percentage of gross payroll receipts
This means you have the option to choose what payment methodology saves you the most money. Have a lot of part-time workers? A percentage of your payroll may be more cost-effective for you. Have a few long-term employees? You may save more money with a flat fee based on the number of employees working for you.
