Why Use a Broker

An independent advisor who works for you — not any PEO.

PEOs compensate us — so using The PEO Link costs your business nothing. You get an expert who shops the entire market, negotiates your contract, and stays accountable after the deal closes.

We represent your business, not a PEO
Unlike a PEO salesperson with one product, we compare 75+ providers across price, industry fit, ESAC/CPEO certification, and service model.
We do the RFP work — you save time
We gather and compare proposals so you don't have to. Most clients receive multiple competitive offers within 5–7 business days.
At no additional cost to you
The PEO you select compensates us from their distribution budget. Your rate is the same — or better — than going direct.

Top Ratings From Our Clients

★★★★★
The loss potential in my industry almost dictates I carry workers' compensation insurance, but the cost seemed exorbitantly high for my small business. After talking with Lee Chapman and The PEO Link, I discovered a way to provide my employees with affordable workers' comp at a cost-effective price. Thank you PEO Link!

★★★★★
Having no previous experience with a professional employer service, I had little understanding of the benefits they can provide. The staff at The PEO Link helped guide us to an outstanding PEO service and introduced us to a whole host of benefits including risk management, safety, and HR implementation.

★★★★★
Our company has been working with PEO Link for the last 8 years. Within that time, they have moved us between 2 different PEOs which have helped us streamline our HR and payroll needs. They are very knowledgeable and were able to get us better rates than the PEOs offered directly.
