ASO Services

Best ASO Services for Small Business

Small businesses choose an ASO when they want payroll, tax filing and benefits administration handled for them but prefer to stay the only employer and keep their own benefit plans and broker. Some ASOs set a minimum headcount or a monthly minimum fee, so check both before you ask for a quote.

How the score works

How many employees would the PEO cover?

Some products only serve certain team sizes: those that do not fit yours drop out.

What matters for small business

  1. A fee that covers the basics

    Ask whether payroll, payroll tax filing and benefits administration are in the base fee or sold as add-ons; on a small headcount, add-ons can double the per-employee cost.

  2. HR answers without an HR team

    Check whether the plan includes an HR line or a dedicated advisor, and the hours they work, because the owner usually handles employee questions.

  3. Tax filing you can verify

    Your business stays liable for payroll taxes filed under its EIN, so ask how you can see each deposit and filing the provider makes.
