Frequently Asked Questions

What does a PEO do for a small business?

A PEO shares employer responsibilities with your business. It files payroll taxes, manages HR risk such as unemployment claims, and handles benefits and workers’ comp. You keep control of your team and your day-to-day operations.

What makes Focused Business Partners different from other PEOs?

We’re hands-on. We’ll onboard your team at your office, and most clients run their first payroll within two to three weeks. Your company keeps its own health plan, and you pay one price with no add-on fees.

Where does Focused Business Partners operate?

We’re based in Houston and serve businesses across Texas, including Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. We’re also licensed as a PEO in [10] other states, so you can hire outside Texas.

What industries do you work with?

Most of our clients are commercial trades, professional firms, and venture-backed companies. We work with businesses in other industries too, as long as you have 2 or more employees.

How do we get a quote?

Call (281) 573-0998 or fill out our contact form. We’ll learn how your business runs and build pricing around it. We don’t publish fixed prices, because every business needs something different.
