Independent. Unbiased. Authoritative.
PEO Authority was built to give small business owners a trustworthy resource for navigating the Professional Employer Organization landscape.
Why we built this
Finding a PEO is harder than it should be. The industry is full of brokers with undisclosed financial relationships, directories that sell placement to the highest bidder, and review sites that cannot be verified. Small business owners searching for objective information often end up talking to salespeople before they have enough knowledge to evaluate their options.
PEO Authority was built to fix that. We provide independent, structured information about PEO companies — who they serve, what they offer, whether they are IRS-certified, and what size companies they work with — without hiding that information behind a sales process.
What makes us different
How we make money
When a business owner submits a quote request through PEO Authority and ultimately partners with a PEO, we may receive a referral fee from the broker or PEO involved. This is disclosed on every lead form and in our footer.
This commercial arrangement does not influence our directory listings, ratings, or editorial content. PEOs are not listed, ranked, or featured based on their participation in our referral program.
Our data
PEO data on this site is sourced from the IRS CPEO public listings, state labor department registration lists, direct outreach to PEO companies, and publicly available business information. We update our data regularly and provide a way to report errors on every company profile page.
