A professional employer organization (PEO) typically offers human resources services, including recruiting and hiring staff on behalf of the employer, handling payroll and taxes, developing and enforcing HR policies, maintaining employee records, and assuming legal liability for a fee. An employment agency may assist with recruiting and hiring, but typically does not handle payroll or assume legal liability for the employer. A payroll vendor only handles payroll and taxes, but not other HR functions. A seed investor is a type of investor that provides funding to start-up companies.
