What is a PEO broker?

A PEO broker is an independent advisor who compares Professional Employer Organizations on your behalf. Instead of approaching one PEO directly, a broker like Advantage Business Partners shops the full market to find the best rates and fit for your company — at no additional cost to you, since brokers are compensated by the PEOs.

How much does Advantage Business Partners charge?

The initial strategy session is completely free. For most services, Advantage Business Partners is compensated by the vendor or provider — not by the client. There is no obligation to purchase anything after your consultation.

What areas does Advantage Business Partners serve?

Advantage Business Partners is headquartered in Lakewood Ranch, Florida and serves businesses throughout Florida — including Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Naples, and Fort Myers — as well as select markets nationally.

How much can a small business save with Advantage Business Partners?

Savings vary by company size and services selected. Common outcomes include up to 25% reduction in health insurance and workers comp premiums through a PEO, approximately $1,100 per employee per year in payroll tax savings, and 40 to 50 percent lower cost per hire using remote workforce solutions.

What is ABP Advantage?

A high-performance digital infrastructure platform that synchronizes human capital, payroll, benefits, workers' comp, ai technology, marketing and funding for enterprise-scale growth.

Why PEO

Why PEO HR Outsourcing Is Different for St. Petersburg Businesses

PEO HR outsourcing is different from hiring an HR consultant or using an HR software tool. A PEO provides HR as part of a full package that includes payroll, benefits, workers' comp, and compliance. The PEO is the co-employer, which means it shares HR liability with your St. Petersburg business. This gives you professional HR support and reduced liability, not just advice or software.
