Built for Brokers Who Need a Partner, Not a Competitor
Brokers have one non-negotiable: the client relationship stays theirs. INVO is built around that. We don’t run parallel sales motions against broker-sourced accounts. We don’t use your clients as leads. We don’t find our way into a renewal conversation without you. With INVO, you have an ally—not a fight.
When you place a client with INVO, that relationship is tracked and protected. Beyond that, INVO is built for the accounts that are genuinely hard to place—construction, manufacturing, hospitality, staffing, and other labor-heavy industries where a lot of PEOs say yes before they actually understand the account.
What a Partnership With INVO Looks Like
Your client relationship is protected.
The most common question brokers ask us is some version of “will you go around me?” The answer is no. There’s no internal sales team calling your clients. No retention program designed to cut you out at renewal. Broker-sourced accounts are tracked, reported on, and protected as yours from day one.
Commissions are transparent and reported consistently.
Commission rates are established before any account is placed. INVO provides regular reporting so you can see what you’ve earned and when to expect it. If you’ve worked with PEOs where commission visibility was a problem—delayed statements, shifting rates, relationships that changed after year one—we are different. The details are on the table.
We underwrite the accounts other PEOs avoid.
High-risk and multi-state accounts are where broker partnerships either hold or fall apart. INVO underwrites construction, manufacturing, hospitality, and staffing—industries where workers’ comp classifications are complicated, claims histories matter, and a generic PEO quote is likely to be wrong or unavailable.
You have one contact who knows your accounts.
When a question comes up—a commission statement, a client situation, a claim that needs attention—you call one person who knows the relationship. Not a general support line. Not whoever picks up that day. Your partner who knows your business. INVO assigns a designated contact to every broker relationship because that’s what responsiveness means to us.
The Accounts Most PEOs Pass On Are Where INVO Does Its Best Work
Brokers who work in high-risk, labor-heavy markets already know the problem: most PEOs take a first look, ask a few questions, and either pass or come back with a quote that doesn’t hold. INVO has underwriting experience and service infrastructure built specifically for these industries.
Construction
Variable crews, high-risk classifications, EMR management, certified payroll, and multi-state jobs. INVO handles the comp and admin side for accounts with the kind of complexity most PEOs decline.
Manufacturing
Shift-based payroll, OSHA compliance, elevated workers’ comp exposure, and multi-site operations. Real underwriting experience in the industry, not a standard policy applied to a non-standard risk.
Hospitality
High turnover, tip credit payroll, wage and hour complexity, and workers’ comp in a physically demanding environment. INVO knows the operational shape of this business.
Staffing
Variable risk across placement environments, high-volume payroll, co-employment compliance, and benefits for a non-standard workforce. One of the more demanding PEO placements in the market.
For accounts outside these industries, the same conversation applies: tell us what you’re working with and we’ll give you a straight read.

Broker FAQ
A broker-friendly PEO protects the broker’s client relationship rather than treating it as a lead. In practice: no direct prospecting to broker-sourced clients, transparent commissions, and a service model that keeps the broker informed and involved after the placement. INVO operates this way as standard—it’s how the business is structured, not a special accommodation.
No. INVO doesn’t run a parallel direct sales motion against broker-sourced accounts. When you place a client with us, that relationship is tracked and protected. Our business depends on broker partnerships being sustainable over time, which means your accounts stay yours.
Commission rates and reporting timelines are part of the partnership conversation before any account is placed. INVO provides regular commission statements so you have clear visibility into what you’ve earned and when payments are made. For specific rate details, the right starting point is a direct conversation with our team.
Yes. Workers’ comp for high-risk employers is one of INVO’s core capabilities. INVO provides coverage through the PEO model and manages claims administration for employers in construction, manufacturing, hospitality, staffing, and other labor-heavy industries—including accounts with elevated risk classifications, variable workforce sizes, and claims histories that make traditional coverage difficult to place.
The answer brokers give most consistently is service: a designated contact who knows the account, responds when something needs attention, and follows through. INVO was built on an insurance foundation—the operating philosophy is accountability and practical problem-solving. There’s no portal designed to make you or your client self-serve through a problem that needs a real person.
Ready to Talk About a Partnership?
Most broker conversations with INVO start with a specific account—something complicated, hard to place, or sitting in a market where your current lineup doesn’t have a clean answer. That’s a fine place to start. We’ll give you a straight read on whether we’re the right fit.
