The COVID-19 Resource Center
Our communities and businesses have all been permanently impacted by COVID-19. The pandemic has changed how the world does business, and it continues to present new challenges that are particularly difficult for small and mid-sized businesses to manage on their own.
As a professional employer organization or “PEO”, PrestigePEO provides full-spectrum support to small and mid-sized businesses for employee benefits, HR management, compliance, payroll, and more. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the benefits of partnering with a PEO are clearer than ever before. Compared to other small businesses, those that partner with a PEO are 119% more likely to have received PPP loans, 91% less likely to be temporarily closed, and 60% less likely to have permanently closed. *
