Are you an employer who would like to have one point of contact to deal with all of your insurance problems? Are you tired of having to “look up” which agent handles that particular issue?

Would it make sense to you to have one point of contact to deal with all those headaches? Would it make your life easier to make one phone call and let someone else handle it? We like to call it the “SEP” solution, where it becomes Somebody Else’s Problem.

PEO Pros, and our alliance partners, can help you in these areas:

• Business Owner Packages (BOPs)
• Workers’ Compensation
• General Liability
• Professional Liability
• Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)
• Group and Individual Health Plans
• etc

Health Insurance in the Future. What is this going to mean to my business?
Many employers are asking themselves:
Is this new health bill going to cost me a lot of money?
It is important that you get the facts on how it will affect you. Smart employers are asking experts:

• What options are available?
• Is my business compliant with the new bill?
• Are my employees going to be covered?
• Will I avoid expensive fines?

We have experts available to review your situation. Can we help in all cases? Probably not. Can we help you? Why not contact us and find out?

Sometimes it’s possible to get a better health plan or group benefits through a PEO. Sometimes it’s not. Would you like to be aware of the options available to you?

Our agents are well versed in the confusing world of health options.

It’s very possible you can benefit by having us as a professional partner in this area.

Southeastern Data is one of the most unique businesses in Central Florida. From their website:

“Since 1996 Southeastern Data has provided recycling & remarketing of of all types of computers & electronic equipment. We offer pickup service across the nation and to a number of locations outside of the country.

Southeastern Data is an expert at recycling all forms of electronics and equipment. We also offer wholesale pricing of refurbished and new-old-stock items at our warehouse location in Oviedo, Florida. Our warehouse is open to the public Monday-Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. with other hours available by appointment.”

Allan Jackson, owner and CEO tells us “I wish I’d known about PEOs when I got started. I could have avoided a lot of headaches in our first year of business associated with managing payroll and taxes, but the real benefit early on would have come from expert help with basic HR issues such as unemployment and workers comp insurance. The time and money that I used to spend on that is now completely focused on the business. It’s been a huge upgrade! I also can’t say enough about PEO Pros in helping me find the best PEO solution for our needs at every step in my company’s evolution. My best advice for moving to a PEO relationship would be to make PEO Pros your first call.”

We are also clients of Southeastern Data. We have purchased all of our office computers and other tech items from their high quality collection of previously owned equipment.

Small businesses are challenged with the rising price of advertising. As the number of options increase, the quality of advertising and return on investment are getting harder and harder to track.

How then can a small business find more clients? The internet is certainly a growing field, and making more and more people accessible. The connections being made are at an all time high, and should only continue to grow. Then why isn’t it the answer? Why aren’t small businesses growing at an all time rate?

The most likely reason is due exactly to the growth of the internet. With so many people to meet and be connected with, who is to be trusted? Isn’t that what it comes down to anyway?

The first rule of business, “All things being equal, people do business with people they like and trust.” The corollary of that is “All things being unequal, people still do business with people they like and trust.”

How is trust earned? It’s doubtful that real trust can come from email, online messaging or blogs.

Trust comes from face to face meetings. Networking is one of the best options out there to meet people face to face on a regular basis, and develop relationships.

We recommend the following networking groups in East Orlando:
Build Your Own Business (BYOB) in Orlando
Laid Back Leads Group
