Having recently been through this, I appreciate the push to support small business in what is a confusing and stressful area of administration. Inherent support for distributed teams is also a nice perk.
As others have mentioned, the high cost of individual (e.g. Marketplace) insurance is one obvious drawback that remains. Even with 1 non-owner employee you can get better rates through e.g. simplyinsured.com
However, the monthly recurring cost strikes me as high. The major emphasis seems to be on setting up and picking a plan; to be slightly cynical, is this just the SaaS-ifaction of what would otherwise be a one-time setup fee?
- acesohc 7y agoSuril here. We think of our service as an outsourced benefits team member. We handle ongoing payments and issues with carriers (which are surprisingly common), payroll adjustments, tax support at year end, and all employee questions. Would you prefer to pay a fixed, upfront fee?
- mNovak 7y agoPersonally yes, I think that'd be fair. Similar to how I don't pay my patent lawyer or even accountant monthly. Presumably many things change as a business grows, but this is a (very) small business perspective. Related, what happens if I decide to drop Savvy?
