Funding strategies modeled

We came from ADP and would've been happy just saving the 28% on workers' comp. What we didn't expect was real employee benefits, faster support, and a simpler experience across the board. Easier to hire, easier to retain good people, and morale is stronger. We came for the savings and ended up with a partner that helps our business win.

How to read these

Each case shows the carrier and funding mechanism the client moved from, the trigger that brought them in, the headline outcome, and what changed under the hood. Some clients are named here with their permission; where a client preferred to stay private, we’ve kept the situation and the numbers and omitted the name — so you can map yourself onto the cases by situation, not by size.

Source documents — quote comparisons, premium tables, renewal letters — available under NDA on request.

You've seen the outcomes. Now run yours.

Seven funding strategies modeled on your actual census, your actual carriers, your actual renewal pressure. No obligation, no pitch — just the comparison.
