Step Away From The Crowd!

	This is one of the toughest and most competitive markets insurance and other local business consultants have seen in many years. On top of a soft market, PEOs (outsourced HR companies) are taking an ever increasing share of the traditional market.  THRN offers our members the tools they need to take a leadership role in reshaping today's market environment.

THRN will help you prevent the profit erosion created by the soft market and the growth of PEOs on your business.  THRN will strengthen and solidify the value of your services to your clients.  We will also broaden your revenue stream by adding new commissionable revenues to your business.

There are fundamental market changes occurring today.

Between 1980 and 2000, the number of labor laws and regulations grew by almost two thirds, says the federal Small Business Administration.  The SBA estimated owners of small or mid-sized business spent up to a quarter (25%) of their time on the ever increasing employment-related paperwork.  PEOs are attractive to the small to mid-sized employer because they assume much of this burdensome responsibility and help companies comply with all these regulations. 

As a one-stop solution, businesses are increasingly outsourcing to PEOs everything from administering the payroll and paying employment related taxes, to employment liability, risk management, recruiting, providing health benefits, and securing workers' compensation coverage.

	With an estimated $61 billion in gross revenues in 2007, PEOs are growing at a rate of 20% per year.
	There are over 700 PEOs operating around the USA today and that number is steadily increasing.
	The average PEO employer size is around 20 employees; the average salary is around $30,000; representing an average employer payroll between $500,000 to $600,000.
