growing at a rate of greater than 20% and most experts predict this
rate of growth can be sustained for 5-10 years as PEO's respond to
the growing need for their services. The Small Business
Administration estimates there are nearly 6 million businesses with
fewer than 100 employees. These small to mid-sized businesses
employ over 52 million employees with an aggregate payroll of over
$1.1 trillion. It is estimated the PEO industry currently has
between 2-3 million worksite employees with annual payrolls greater
than $18 billion. With just 2% of the market, the growth in PEO
services is unlimited. With an average annual growth rate of 20%,
more and more business owners are turning to the Professional
Employer Industry to provide them with the tools they need to
increase productivity and profits. Cautionary Statement for the
