I worked for a large corporation when I moved to South Carolina in 2010. I called up to “corporate” one day to ask for a few hundred dollars to sponsor an event for a local non-profit.

“Matt, we just don’t get involved at the local level.”

I remember this conversation as clear as day. My family and I were putting down roots in South Carolina and wanted to be a part of the community. For us, this meant supporting the causes we care about and being a part of a company that cared about our community. 

When I couldn’t find a company in my industry that aligned with these goals, we created our own. 

We give away 5 percent of our company to local charities. That includes three percent of all revenue, one percent of our product, and one percent of our time volunteering (come serve with us!).

Underdog Digital

We grew frustrated with how digital marketing agencies treated us and their ability to produce results. We built our own process, 10xed our leads, and started replicating the process for others. Small business marketing simplified.

District Manager

I was so proud when my company finally grew enough to offer health insurance to my team. I thought I was being a great employer.

Then one of my employees told me bluntly: "It would be more expensive and worse coverage for me to use our plans."

That stung. But what really opened my eyes was talking to one of our clients who was trying to recruit against companies like Facebook. They were showing potential hires age-banded plans and getting beat every single time.

I realized this wasn't just my problem - small businesses across South Carolina were losing the talent war because of benefits.

I knew you couldn't have a PEO in South Carolina without Blue Cross. In our state, they're the only carrier that matters. So I didn't just find a solution, I built one.

It wasn't easy. Blue Cross has strict size requirements and won't work with just any agent. But I was determined to give small businesses the same buying power as Fortune 500 companies.

Today, we've helped hundreds of South Carolina businesses compete for top talent, saving an average of $50K annually. 

Our biggest win? 

A 21-employee nonprofit that we saved $120K per year - money they used to hire a new teammate to grow their mission instead of padding insurance company profits.

If you're tired of losing talent because your benefits can't compete with big corporations, or you're spending too much on insurance that your employees don't even value, let's talk.

Every dollar you save on benefits is a dollar you can invest back into growing your business and taking care of your team the way they deserve.
