Here are answers to some of the questions business owners typically ask when deciding whether to outsource.

How does a PEO relationship work?

An arrangement with MBA as your PEO is a close one between you as a business owner, MBA and your worksite employees. Both you and MBA have an employer relationship with the worker; in essence, you are co-employers of your worksite employees for certain purposes.

  • For you, MBA becomes a strategic HR partner. We help to reduce liability and streamline the employee administration process.
  • For your employee, MBA provides a professional human resource department and assistance in using the employee benefit package that you select.

How does an HRO relationship work?

A HRO arrangement is also a close one between you as a business owner, MBA and your worksite employees; however, MBA does not have an employer relationship with the worker. MBA serves as a HR consultant. Here, all insurance products are client based and employment related taxes are reported and paid under the client’s federal ID number.

Do I retain control of my business?

Yes. With either a PEO or HRO relationship, you and MBA become partners in the employment of your workers. You, as the business owner, retain daily sufficient control over your business activities. Since you will dedicate fewer resources to administrative issues, you will find you can focus more on your business than ever before.

Why would my employees want my company to use MBA?

Employees want a safe working environment, reliable and consistent management practices, quality insurance products and opportunities for retirement savings.

MBA can provide quality employee benefit programs such as health, dental, and life insurance; vision care; retirement savings plans; and aggressive workplace risk management.

Your employees' job security is improved as our economy of scale enables you to lower employment costs. Productivity also improves when your workers are given administrative resources such as employee manuals and improved employer/employee communications. These resources serve to help employees better understand how your business operates, what your mission is and what is required of them.

Is MBA right for my company?

Maybe. MBA understands that one HR model does not apply to all businesses. Therefore, MBA offers service packages designed specifically for individual clients. A comprehensive assessment of your current business practices will allow MBA to create the service package that meets your own business needs.

  1. To develop cost-effective and time saving solutions to take the administrative burden off business owners.
