What's a PEO? In plain English.

Specialize in what you do best — and let the employment professionals handle the rest.

Think of a PEO as your outside back office. A professional employer organization takes payroll, workers' comp, benefits, and HR paperwork off your hands — and uses the buying power of thousands of employees to get you better rates.

You stay in charge of your people and your business. The PEO just handles the heavy administrative lifting in the background — the way a big company's HR department would, without you having to build one.

There are thousands of PEOs out there, and they're not all equal. The Richmond Agency knows the market and finds the one that actually fits you — at no cost to get started.

And we do all the legwork — finding you the most competitive rates for workers' comp insurance, payroll, HR support, and employee benefits.

+ Saves you time + Saves you money + Works for you, not a carrier + Frees you to do what you do best

01 — The reason you started

You got into this to do what you're great at.

The work you actually love — the reason you took the leap and started in the first place.

02 — What got in the way

Then came payroll, workers' comp, benefits, and HR.

The red tape that has nothing to do with why you started — quietly eating your evenings and your margins.

03 — What a PEO actually does

A PEO takes all of that off your plate.

It becomes your back-office employer of record — running payroll, comp, benefits and compliance so you don't have to.

04 — What you get back

Big-company benefits and rates. Hours back in your week.

Pooled with thousands of other employees, you buy like a large company — and stop drowning in paperwork.

05 — Where we come in

We find the right one, and stay in your corner.

The Richmond Agency works for you — before, during, and after — so you can get back to what you do best.

One broker, the whole market working for you.

We push to get add-on and setup fees waived wherever the market allows it.

Industry knowledge

Decades of knowing which providers keep their promises — and which ones to steer around.

Before, during & after

Our mission & our network.

Our mission

Help our clients focus on their core business by cutting all the red tape out of being an employer. We value our relationships and strive to provide individual care, multiple solutions, superior service, and competitive pricing — before, during, and after you've signed the contract. We work for you. You are our boss, and we're here to be your advocate.

Our network of providers

With thousands of PEOs in the marketplace, we carefully select the providers that add real value for a particular client's wants and needs. Most are national companies with a long, proven track record. On the local level, we only work with PEOs that have a reputation for superior service.

How it works

Four steps from buried to handled.

No long forms to start. A short conversation tells us most of what we need.

STEP 01

Tell us about your company

Headcount, industry, and what's eating the most time right now.

STEP 02

We shop the market

We take your profile to vetted PEOs and collect competing quotes.

STEP 03

Compare clear options

Side by side, in plain language, with our honest read on each.

STEP 04

We stay in your corner

Through setup and beyond — your advocate, not the provider's.

Whose side we're on

You're the boss.
We work for you.

The Richmond Agency started out as captive agents, tied to a single provider. We broke away on purpose — so our advice could be objective and our loyalty could sit with the client instead of a carrier.

Today we're independent. That means our only job is finding you the best fit, not selling one company's product.

And if we can't save you money or beat what you already have, we'll tell you straight — and point you to someone who can. An honest answer is how 30+ years of relationships get built.
