About PEO Brokers Collective
A Community Built for Brokers, By Brokers
For decades, PEO brokers have been on their own - navigating complex client needs, vetting providers, and shaping the future of small businesses without a place to turn for guidance or community. We knew the industry could do better. So we came together - not just as brokers, but as people who care deeply about business owners and the role PEO plays in their success.
The PEO Brokers Collective is our answer: a community built to connect brokers, share knowledge, and elevate the standards of the profession. Because when brokers are supported, clients win. And when clients win, the entire industry grows stronger, more legitimate, and more respected.
​
This is more than a platform. It’s a movement to to set a higher bar, together.
