How It Works

Hire our partner, a Professional Employer Organization, as your outsourced HR Department and set up monthly payroll
As a member of the PEO, you will have access to a suite of benefits, including health insurance, workers comp, and disability insurance
Bear in mind that PPO health insurance may be more expensive than the plans that are available on the individual market

This program brings you a suite of benefits you can't get on your own. Eligible independent contractors and small business owners can access national PPO coverage with premium hospitals and other benefits tailored to their business.

You can enroll in this program throughout the year.

Your freelance business must be able to support a monthly payroll of about $2,400/month. The majority of this will pay for benefits, taxes, and fees and some will come back to you as personal income. Speak with one of our partner's experts to design the right package for you.
