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 It Matters

Why PEO Consulting Matters for Tampa Businesses

Choosing a PEO is a significant decision that affects your cost, your employees, and your compliance for years. Tampa businesses that choose a PEO without expert advice often overpay, pick the wrong PEO for their industry, or miss hidden fees. A consultant helps you avoid these mistakes. The cost of bad advice, or no advice, is far higher than the cost of good advice, which in most cases is free to you.

How to Start

How to Get PEO Consulting for Your Tampa Business

Start with a free consultation. We review your current costs and needs, evaluate whether a PEO makes sense for your Tampa business, and if so, which PEO is the best fit. You get objective advice with no obligation. If a PEO is not the right choice, we tell you. If it is, we help you choose and transition. Either way, you get expert advice at no cost.

FAQ

Tampa PEO Consultant FAQ

What does a PEO consultant do for Tampa businesses?

A PEO consultant provides objective advice on whether a PEO is right for your Tampa business, which PEO to choose, and how to manage the relationship. We do a needs analysis, evaluate PEOs, surface hidden costs, and provide ongoing support. We work for you, not the PEO.

How is a PEO consultant different from a PEO broker?

The roles overlap. A broker focuses on shopping the market and finding the best PEO. A consultant focuses on evaluating whether a PEO is the right choice and advising on the relationship. In practice, a good advisor does both: shops the market and gives objective advice on which PEO fits your Tampa business.

Does PEO consulting cost anything for Tampa businesses?

In most cases, no. The consultant is paid by the PEO through commissions. There is no additional cost to your Tampa business. You get expert advice and full market access at no extra cost. The savings from choosing the right PEO far exceed any cost.

How do I know if a PEO is right for my Tampa business?

A PEO is usually right for businesses with 5 to 500 employees that want to reduce HR, payroll, benefits, and workers comp costs. A consultant can evaluate your specific situation and tell you honestly whether a PEO makes sense for your Tampa business. If it does not, we tell you.
