Why It Matters

Health Benefits Are the #1 Factor in Hiring & Retention.

In today’s job market, small businesses compete with large corporations for talent. Health insurance is consistently ranked the single most valued employee benefit — more than bonuses, vacation, or flexible hours.

The good news: as an independent broker with access to 200+ carriers, I can build a group plan that’s competitive with what Fortune 500 companies offer — at a fraction of the cost.

Attract Top Talent

Candidates actively filter job listings by benefits. A strong health plan puts you in the running for the best people.

Reduce Turnover

Employees with good benefits are significantly less likely to leave. Replacing a single employee costs 50–200% of their annual salary.

Tax Advantages

Employer premium contributions are tax-deductible. Section 125 plans also reduce your payroll taxes dollar-for-dollar.

Healthier, More Productive Team

Employees with coverage get preventive care, address issues early, and miss fewer days — directly impacting your bottom line.

Common Questions

Small Business Health Insurance FAQs

Straight answers to the questions business owners ask most.

Am I required to offer health insurance as a small business? +
Under the ACA, businesses with fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees are not legally required to offer health insurance. However, most competitive small businesses choose to offer it because of the recruiting and retention advantages — and because the tax benefits often offset much of the cost. I’ll help you figure out if and how it makes financial sense for your specific business.
How much will group health insurance cost my business? +
Costs vary widely based on team size, location, age demographics, and plan type. Many small businesses are surprised to find group rates comparable to — or better than — what employees would pay individually. And with the Section 125 plan, the base benefits package costs your business $0 while still lowering your payroll taxes. I’ll put together a free cost analysis for your specific situation.
Can I offer different plan options to different employees? +
Yes. Many group plan structures allow employees to choose from multiple plan tiers — for example, a basic HMO and a premium PPO — with the employer contributing a fixed dollar amount and employees paying the difference. This gives your team flexibility while keeping your costs predictable.
What is a Section 125 plan and how does it save me money? +
A Section 125 Cafeteria Plan allows employees to pay their portion of health insurance premiums with pre-tax dollars. This reduces their taxable income — and since you don’t pay payroll taxes (FICA) on those amounts either, you save 7.65% on every dollar your employees redirect through the plan. For a team of 10 earning an average of $50,000, that’s potentially $3,000–5,000+ in annual payroll tax savings for your business.
How long does it take to get my team enrolled? +
Most group plans can have your team enrolled and active within 2–4 weeks of your decision. I handle all the paperwork, employee communications, and enrollment logistics — so there’s minimal time investment on your end. For Section 125 plans, the process is even faster since there’s no underwriting required.
