Don't be stupid. Use a PEO Broker.
Finding the right Professional Employer Organization is a lot like building a house. There are over 700 PEOs to choose from. Some are great matches; most won’t be the right fit.

These plans are allowed to offer the coverage they did before the Affordable Care Act.
