Partnering with a PEO can be a game changer, providing your company with resources and expertise it may not otherwise have. However, choosing a PEO isn’t a decision you can make quickly without first researching the market offerings and reflecting on your business. Did you know there are significant differences among the more than 500 PEOs in the U.S.? At the outset, many business owners don’t know exactly what they’re looking for in a PEO and tend to focus on the superficial similarities between PEOs versus their meaningful differences. As a result, business owners tend to differentiate between PEOs mainly on price. But cost is really only a small portion of the picture – and the least expensive PEO option may not necessarily serve your business best.
