Flat-fee broker for owners and small teams
Real group coverage, a flat $150 a person held flat, and a calculator that shows your exact 2026 cost in the structure versus out, before you talk to anyone.

The 2026 reset
At the start of 2026, the enhanced ACA subsidies expired. If you are self-employed or running a small team, you now pay full retail for coverage, with after-tax dollars, at the worst point in the market for someone at your income. The major networks reported on it as it happened.
First step, thirty seconds
Dealing with coverage and payroll taxes is the errand everyone puts off. So the first step takes thirty seconds and zero paperwork. Put in what you earn and what you pay. See your number. No name, no email, no call.
A 30-second look to show you the shape of it. The full engine gives you the exact figure for your situation.
Your Real Number
Compare your current setup against the right PEO structure, side by side, run against the actual 2026 IRS and state tax tables. No email, no phone, no gate. You see real numbers first. Share your contact only at the end, and only if you want the full CPA-ready report.
The line
This works if you are an owner netting $90K or more in 2026 and paying at least $500 a month for coverage, on your own or with a team up to 25. Below that, the math usually does not justify the fee, with one exception: if you want serious coverage now and you expect your income to climb, getting the structure in place can pay off. At $100K and up, you are squarely where this works. The closer you are to $185K, the more it is costing you to stay where you are. The calculator will tell you which side of the line you are on.
The reveal
Say you pay $900 a month for coverage today. Because you pay it with after-tax dollars, you have to earn about $1,300 to cover it. Inside the structure, the same coverage carries an $880 sticker, but because it is pre-tax, it effectively costs you about $650.

The operations layer
A PEO does more than the coverage. It runs the entire back office a big company has, payroll through legal, all of it off your desk and included in the flat fee.
W-2s, 941s, direct deposit, and state filings, run for you every cycle.
Onboarding, terminations, and day-to-day questions, handled by people you can reach.
Filings run under the PEO's tax ID, multi-state included. The payroll-tax exposure leaves your books.
Pay-as-you-go from each payroll. No deposit, no year-end audit. SUTA stabilized through the pool.
EPLI included. If an employee files a claim, the co-employer shares the liability and steps in.
The fee
The PEO charges about $1,800 a year, per insured person. We put that number front and center, with no hidden fees and no percentage games. It earns its place because the PEO runs a pool of 150,000+ covered lives, and that scale is what produces the composite group rates that more than offset it. Carrier and workers' comp rates move with the market over the years, like they would anywhere. The admin fee does not get re-rated. Big PEOs run low first-year pricing and raise it once you are in. This is the opposite.
$150 / person / month
Everything you need to run coverage and back office in one place.
Month to month. No long-term contract.
$75 / person / month
The same infrastructure without group plan access.
Add $75 to upgrade to group plan access later. Month to month.
How it works
Co-employment is an IRS-recognized structure that has existed for decades. Your payroll and compliance filings move under the PEO's tax ID, which lifts the quarterly payroll-tax liability off your own books and puts EPLI and the compliance shield on your side.
You keep running your company
The horror stories about losing control come from big PEOs built for big companies. Not this.
That is the only structural change on your side. A single-member LLC elects S-corp as part of onboarding, and your CPA handles the filing. It is routine.
If you have a team
If you have employees, you have probably been pitched the cheaper option: give each person a set amount every month and let them buy their own coverage. It caps what you spend, which is the whole appeal. The catch is the plan they end up with.
The cash route
You cap your cost and walk away. Each of your people buys on their own and takes what they can get: smaller doctor networks, prices that climb with age and hit your most experienced people hardest, a different plan for everyone, and deductibles high enough that the plan barely helps until they have spent thousands.
The group plan
One real plan on a national PPO for the whole team, the kind of coverage a big company offers. And it takes payroll, workers' comp, and the filings off your desk at the same time.
The cash route is cheaper for you. The group plan is better for your people, and it handles your back office too.

Due diligence
Most PEOs are built for large companies. Watch for the ones that dictate your salary, route you through a phone tree, lock you into proprietary software, or pitch cheap coverage without the structure behind it. If a PEO will not answer straight on any of those, walk away. We answer straight, and the calculator is the proof: the number is in front of you before anyone asks for your contact.
