The Cost of Running It Yourself
How It Works
We map your team size, pay schedule, and current process. You get a fixed monthly cost -- no surprises, no per-run fees.
We configure and run your first payroll cycles. No migration required -- we work in your existing system. Transition takes 30-60 days.
Every pay cycle, every filing, every compliance update -- fully managed by BEG. You approve payroll. That is the only thing left on your plate.
What's Included
Most small businesses cannot justify a full-time payroll specialist at $70,000-$100,000 a year, so payroll ends up on the owner's desk or bolted onto someone's existing job. BEG becomes your payroll department for $25-$45 per employee per month. We run gross-to-net calculations, direct deposit, and pay stub delivery every cycle. You approve the run. We handle the rest.
Roughly a third of small businesses incur an IRS penalty related to payroll at some point, usually a missed deposit deadline or an incorrect filing caught after the fact. BEG handles federal and state tax withholding, quarterly 941 and annual 940 filings, and state unemployment insurance (SUTA) as part of the standard service. Deadlines do not depend on whether the owner remembered.
Small businesses without an HR department still have to handle new hire reporting, garnishment orders, employee paycheck questions, and year-end W-2s. BEG manages all of it directly. Employees with a paycheck question call BEG, not the owner. New hires get reported in all 50 states without anyone on your team looking up the rules.
You do not have to rip out your current payroll software to get a managed service. BEG can operate inside your existing system, whatever you run today, or in our isolved account if you prefer a single platform. Most small business clients keep their current setup. Migration is available if you want it, never required to get started.
Small business owners frequently tell us their last payroll provider charged extra for every off-cycle run, every W-2, every correction. BEG's $25-$45 PEPM rate is all-inclusive, with a $500 monthly minimum. One number covers processing, filings, compliance updates, and support. Add or remove an employee and your monthly cost adjusts at the same per-employee rate. No renegotiating a contract.
Who This Serves
The owner currently runs payroll personally, on top of sales, operations, and everything else that actually grows the business.
Payroll landed on whoever had bandwidth. That person is doing two jobs and payroll is not the one they were hired for.
A self-service platform worked at 5 employees. At 15 to 50, the time cost and error risk of running it yourself start adding up fast.
Even a handful of remote or out-of-state employees creates separate state tax registrations and filing obligations most owners never expected.
Retail, restaurants, and service businesses with fluctuating headcount need payroll that flexes without a fixed per-run fee eating the savings.
Large enough that payroll errors carry real financial and legal risk, small enough that a dedicated in-house payroll hire does not pencil out.
What You Get
Common objection: "Switching payroll systems sounds like a headache I do not have time for."
We do not require you to switch platforms. BEG operates as your managed payroll team inside your current system. If you want to move to a better platform later, we can handle that too -- but it is never a requirement to get started.
Common objection: "Every payroll company charges extra the moment I need something outside the basic run."
The $25-$45 PEPM rate ($500 monthly minimum) is all-inclusive: payroll processing, tax filing, compliance updates, year-end W-2s, and support. One number, everything included, no surprise line items.
Common objection: "I do not want to explain my business to a new rep every time I call."
Your BEG payroll specialist is your ongoing contact. When something changes -- a new hire, a raise, a state registration -- you send one message. There is no ticket queue, no chatbot, and no 1-800 number. Your business has a real person who knows your account.
The Math on Waiting
An internal payroll hire costs $70,000-$100,000 per year in fully loaded compensation, a number most small businesses cannot justify. Fully managed payroll at $25-$45 PEPM on a 15-person team costs roughly $4,500-$8,100 per year. Every month you handle payroll manually is a month of penalty exposure and hours that should be going toward running your business, not spreadsheets.
Your Next Transition Window
Payroll transitions take 30-60 days. If you want a clean cutover at Q3, Q4, or January 1 -- the window to start is now. Small businesses that miss the quarter-start timing typically wait another 3 months, and the penalties and hours you saved by waiting are gone for good.

FAQ
BEG's fully managed payroll runs $25-$45 per employee per month, all-inclusive, with a $500 monthly minimum. That covers processing, tax filing, compliance, and support. Compare that to a $70,000-$100,000 annual hire or a self-service platform where you still absorb the time and error risk.
