Or there's the option of a professional employer organization like TriNet: http://www.trinet.com/

Yeah, the problem with TriNet and other PEOs, though, is that they cost thousands of dollars per employee per year -- while Zenefits is free. They do more than we do, of course, but a lot of small companies only need someone for benefits administration, mostly.

If you need sexual harassment training, & other liability-reducing stuff, TriNet makes a lot of sense.

What about the discounts on the benefits?

Doesn't TriNet have one of the deepest discount packages because they are pooling 100,000s of people?

I would bet start-ups get very competitive rates on their insurance considering their demographics.
