What Is a PEO? Let’s Keep It Simple.
Running a business involves two kinds of work:

Managing your team and growing the business

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.
How Co-Employment Works
You run the business.
You choose who works for you, what they do, how they are managed and how your company operates. You keep control of your employees, customers, brand and daily decisions.
BuoyPEO handles the employer administration.
BuoyPEO helps manage payroll, payroll tax filings, employee benefits, HR support, workers’ compensation, onboarding and compliance-related tasks.
Think of it this way:
You lead the people. BuoyPEO handles much of the paperwork and infrastructure behind them.
What This Means for Your Business
By joining the BuoyPEO platform, your workforce becomes part of a larger employment group. This can give your business access to benefits, technology and HR resources that may be difficult or expensive to obtain on your own.
For an established company, it can feel like gaining a full HR, payroll and benefits department without having to build one internally.
For an eligible independent professional or self-employed business owner, BuoyPEO can also help create a payroll and benefits structure while allowing the individual to remain in control of their own business.

Tailored by Industry. Built for the Lifeline of Your Business: Your People.
True business growth isn't a one-size-fits-all equation. A local restaurant group, a medical spa franchise, a growing logistics company, or a solo freelance creator all operate under completely different pressures. Because we know that solving operational needs requires an industry-by-industry focus, we design specialized pathways to fit your exact workflow.
We connect the data back to the relatable, human milestones that matter most, like giving a family the peace of mind to grow, or allowing a business owner to scale without a mountain of paperwork.
The Buoy STANDARD
We believe that essential business protections shouldn't be hidden behind expensive corporate add-on tiers. When you choose BuoyPEO, these top-tier advantages come completely standard across our ecosystem:
Humanized Healthcare via Buoy CHAMP: Give your employees a benefits experience that feels usable in real life, featuring 24/7 access to $0 copay care, mental health support, and virtual urgent care through the Torch App.
Personalized Insurance Advice: Gain direct access to a dedicated insurance advisor to help you monitor, audit, and save on both your personal and business insurance lines.
Harbor Shield 125 Security: Sleep easily knowing your Section 125 plan structure is entirely automated and backed by standard, full IRS audit defense for maximum peace of mind.
Specialized Innovation: Accessible, Compliant, Transformative
If you run a tipped business or operate as an independent creator in a tipped industry (including restaurants, salons, spas, hospitality, and rideshare), BuoyPEO opens a major door in the tax code.
By bundling the 2025 "No Tax on Tips" deduction with the IRS FICA Tip Credit inside a compliant Section 125 structure, we help independent workers save an average of $4,500 to $11,000 per year in taxes, while helping business owners recover $1,900 to $3,000 per worker annually in credits. Everything flows seamlessly through your payroll channel, backed by the compliance experts at Anchor Accounting Services.
Better yet, we pair this system with eCredable Lift® and Business Lift® to turn your verified tax and tip reporting into positive personal and commercial credit history, giving you massive financial leverage to grow.
Choose Your Pathway
For Small to Large Businesses
Effortlessly manage payroll, enterprise-grade benefits, and HR compliance for both your W-2 employees and contractors, all in one unified platform. Minimize your daily administrative hassles, lower your operational overhead and keep your primary focus entirely on driving business growth.
