Handling payroll, benefits, HR paperwork, taxes, and compliance
A Professional Employer Organization, or PEO, helps with the second part. Through a structure called co-employment, your business and BuoyPEO share certain employer responsibilities.

The Buoy STANDARD
Essential business protections shouldn't be hidden behind expensive add-on tiers. When you join BuoyPEO, these core advantages come standard across our ecosystem:
Humanized Healthcare via Buoy CHAMP: Supplemental, zero-deductible healthcare giving your crew $0 copay access to primary care, urgent care, 24/7 virtual care and mental health support.
Personalized Insurance Advice: Work directly with a dedicated insurance advisor to monitor, audit, and save on both your commercial and personal insurance lines.
Harbor Shield 125 Compliance: Rest easy knowing your Section 125 plan structure is automated and backed by full IRS audit defense for maximum tax efficiency.
Specialized Innovation: Accessible, Compliant, Transformative
The Gig PEO Solution
With over 81 million independent contractors, freelancers, and gig workers in the U.S., traditional benefits usually leave solo workers behind. Our Gig PEO brings corporate-level healthcare, tax tools, and financial perks directly to independent workers, giving you the safety net of a large company while you remain your own boss.
The BuoyPEO Tip+Tax Advantage
If you run a tipped business or work in a tipped industry (like restaurants, salons, spas, hospitality or rideshare), BuoyPEO unlocks massive savings in the tax code.
By combining modern tip deduction rules with available employer tax credits inside a simple, compliant setup, we help tipped workers and business owners keep $4,000 to $7,000 more in their pockets every year. Everything flows automatically through your payroll, backed by the compliance team at Anchor Accounting Services.
Best of all, we connect this system directly with tools that turn your reported income and tips into a stronger credit score, giving you real financial leverage to grow.
