PEOs we compare for St. Petersburg businesses
Free, no-obligation comparison. We follow up same day.
Florida-headquartered (Bradenton); strongest regional service team for Tampa, Orlando, and Southwest Florida SMBs.
Fort Lauderdale-based; will write Florida hospitality, staffing, and distribution clients other PEOs decline.
For multi-state Florida mid-market employers (75+), ADP's payroll bench and master WC are hard to beat.
Hollywood, FL-based with attorney-on-staff service model; strong for FL professional services and healthcare.
The pick for FL construction, restaurants, and staffing — industry verticals other PEOs avoid.
We place clients across Florida, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale. The right PEO often varies by metro because of regional service-team coverage.
Yes. The Florida Employee Leasing Act requires PEOs to hold a license through the DBPR. The Board of Employee Leasing Companies maintains a public registry; verify the license number before signing. CPEO status is separate and additional.
Florida has both elevated WC rates in construction and hospitality AND mandatory coverage at 1 employee in construction. A PEO's group rate is often dramatically lower than a single-employer subscriber rate, and the savings frequently pay for the PEO outright.
Yes — particularly for hotel and restaurant groups with seasonal variability. Vensure, AlphaStaff, and CoAdvantage all write Florida hospitality. Justworks generally does not.
For a 25–75 employee Florida SMB, expect $110–$200 per employee per month. Regional PEOs (CoAdvantage, AlphaStaff) come in toward the lower end; national PEOs (ADP, Insperity) at the higher end.
