Why Use a PEO Broker?

Companies who use a PEO are less likely to go out of business

According to the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations, companies who use a PEO are 50% less likely to go out of business and more likely to double their revenue. With this in mind, many insurance agents are opting to partner with a PEO to provide their clients with worker’s comp coverage. For insurance agents, vetting the PEOs can be a lot of extra work and oftentimes deters agents from partnering with a PEO.

When using  a PEO broker, they handle all the in-between on behalf of the insurance agent and PEO. A PEO broker has a vested interest in finding the right fit for each agent and each PEO. Do you have additional questions about PEO and PEO brokers? Visit our FAQ to learn more.
