I really like the Zenpayroll product, but I wish they would focus on expanding into more states before adding benefits etc and trying to compete with Zenefits. This would prevent companies who have employees in multiple states outgrowing them and needing to switch to ADP.

On the payroll side, Gusto is actually a full-service payroll provider in all 50 states, meaning we do all your tax calculations, direct deposits, tax payments, and quarterly tax form filings.

For workers' compensation insurance, we're also nationwide.

For health insurance, we're currently available in California only, but we're already expanding to get nationwide.

For health insurance you're just providing an exchange, not a brokerage right? Or both?

Also, any thoughts/plans to move into the PEO space?

We're providing a brokerage.

Oh nice! Last time I checked I thought you only supported a dozen or so states, but that may have been quite some time ago.

Please add the ability to do 1099-DV payments. As a C-CORP founder this is a serious downside.

I believe ZenPayroll is in all 50 states as of a few months ago. Looks like benefits is CA only.

Indeed.

Geographic expansion is expensive and many companies have died by expanding too fast. They may be trying to built out a broader offering before expanding to ensure that they have enough revenue per customer to expand profitably.
