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 Local

Why Tampa Employers Need Local Health Insurance Expertise

Tampa has a specific labor market and industry mix. Tampa Bay is one of Florida's largest metro labor markets, with strength in finance, healthcare, logistics, and technology. The port and international airport drive logistics employment, while competitive hiring across professional services pushes benefit costs up. Health insurance is a local product. Networks, rating areas, and carrier appetite all vary, so a plan that fits one market may not fit yours. An advisor who knows the Tampa area can tell you which carriers compete here and which networks your employees actually use.

FAQ

Tampa Small Business Health Insurance FAQ

What health insurance options do Tampa small businesses have?

Tampa employers can generally compare traditional small group plans, PEO sponsored large group plans, level funded arrangements, and reimbursement arrangements such as ICHRA and QSEHRA. Each has different rules and eligibility requirements. An independent advisor can show your Tampa business which options you actually qualify for and what each one costs.

How much can a Tampa business save on health insurance?

Tampa businesses often save 15 to 30 percent by changing strategy rather than accepting a default renewal. The biggest lever is moving a small group into a large group rating pool through a PEO. Exact savings depend on your group size, plan design, and current cost, so a side by side comparison is the right first step.

Can Tampa employees keep their doctors if we change coverage?

In many cases, yes. PEO sponsored plans typically use national or large regional networks, and we check the network against where your Tampa employees actually receive care before recommending anything. If keeping your current doctors is a priority, we factor that into the comparison.

Do Tampa businesses have to use a PEO to get better health insurance rates?

No. A PEO is one path, and it is often the strongest for employers under 100 employees because it moves you into a large group rating pool. But plan design changes, level funded arrangements, and reimbursement arrangements can also lower cost depending on your situation. We compare the realistic options for your Tampa business rather than pushing one approach.
