Why work with MBO
Offering more ways to compliantly engage talent
While compliance and service are at the core of everything we do, MBO stands out as a provider by offering flexible engagement options that are better for you and your talent. Our personalized compliance process, backed by expertise and enhanced technology, properly classifies your talent without limiting them to choose between being a payrolled worker or vendor.
With the Business Services option, contractors who aren't yet fully established as an independent business can still work with you as an independent contractor, at a much lower cost.
Key benefits
Through our full-service EOR service, MBO handles administrative tasks related to hiring payrolled workers and ensures they are compliant no matter where they work.
Benefits administration
MBO gives payrolled workers engaged through our EOR service benefits similar to what full time employees receive, such as medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401k, tax filing assistance, and more.
Efficient payroll management
Easily consolidate your accounts payable process through our platform. By receiving one invoice for all payrolled workers, your financial management process is streamlined and your administrative overhead is reduced.
Fast and secure onboarding
Our onboarding process is comprehensive and efficient. We'll conduct background checks, contract review and more while ensuring your talent gets to work quickly.
Risk management
MBO ensures that your payrolled workers are properly classified so your business is protected. Our expert staff, process, and technology work seamlessly together to reduce your misclassification risk.
