PrestigePEO vs Velocity Global

PrestigePEO is a PEO that provides HR services to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in eight industries. It is headquartered in Melville, NY, and was founded in 1998 by Andrew Lubash, and became a member of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO) that same year. It is accredited to service clients in 48 states and is ranked #12 out of more than 487 PEOs nationwide. Its services include employee benefits, HR management and consulting, payroll, workplace compliance, retirement planning, HR technologies, and workers' compensation. It does not share specific solution plans or pricing on the website, so prospective clients have to submit a form or call for a personalized quote. PrestigePEO holds the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC) certification and the Certificate Institute (CI) Workers' Compensation certification. They also hold CPEO certification from the IRS. It is one of only 1% of PEOs in the US to retain all three industry certifications.

Velocity Global is a technology company focused on human resources services. It was established in 2014 and is located in Denver, Colorado. The company provides a wide range of administrative services to businesses in 185 countries. They specialize in Employer of Record (EOR) features for companies not legally established in their countries of employment. They also function as an international PEO that takes on many of the administrative tasks of running a company with a global workforce. Their services include compliance support and expert advice. They aim to support every member of your team, no matter where they are located. Velocity Global offers a well-integrated SaaS solution that provides HR, hiring, payroll, benefits, risk management, and compliance services for international companies on one convenient platform. Although they have no service awards displayed online, Velocity Global has a good industry standing on the international stage. However, they lack the industry credentials of US-based providers. They are not members of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO), are not accredited by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC), and are not certified by the IRS. Velocity Global has a B- rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), but they are not BBB-accredited. However, they garner mostly excellent client feedback that praises their software's ease-of-use and generally responsive customer service, some say that current job restructuring has resulted in longer support wait times.
