PEO vs ASO: Which Model Fits Your Business?

ASO Model: Mix-and-Match HR Without Co-Employment compares Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) and Administrative Services Organizations (ASOs) to help businesses choose the right HR model based on their size, liability tolerance, and benefit needs. The key difference is that PEOs act as co-employers sharing liability and offering pooled benefits, while ASOs keep you as sole employer of record with more control but greater responsibility.
