Does the business owner lose control of their business in a PEO relationship?
No. In fact, they may gain better control over their business. The PEO client retains ownership of the company and complete control over its daily operations. As related in the terms of the service agreement between the Client and PEO as “co-employers”, the PEO and client will contractually share and allocate employer responsibilities and employer-related liabilities. Generally, the PEO focuses on employment-related issues and the client will be responsible for the direct business operations.
