What BCN Services does

BCN Services is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that has operated continuously since 1993 under a co-employment model delivering outsourced HR functions to U.S. small and mid-sized businesses. The company serves 450+ business clients covering 100,000+ employees across diverse verticals including construction, healthcare, convenience retail, engineering/design, logistics, and environmental services. Its service offering is organized around six interconnected modules: HR Services, Employee Benefits Administration, Payroll Management, HR Technology (HRIS), Safety and Workers' Compensation, and Risk Management and Compliance. Under the PEO structure, BCN becomes the employer of record for specified HR functions (payroll, tax filing, benefits, workers' compensation) while clients retain operational control of their workforce.

The company's delivery infrastructure is built on the third-party PrismHR HRIS platform, accessed by clients and employees through an HR Cloud Manager Portal and an HR Cloud Employee Portal that provide custom dashboards, an Employee Personal Page (EPP) for benefits enrollment and pay stubs, an Application Tracking System (ATS), and a case management system for HR actions from hire to retire. BCN has issued 300,000+ W-2s and completed projects valued at $3 billion+ for clients, and holds a 4.6-star ClearlyRated customer satisfaction rating with three consecutive Best of HR Services Awards (2024-2026).

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscription-based administrative fees scaled to client employee count and service mix, supplemented by professional services revenue from benefits procurement and administration. Pricing is custom and quote-based; current sales motion includes a direct outbound sales team (reachable at a Michigan number), an inside sales/support line, and time-limited promotional discounts (30% off admin fees for one year; 3 months free payroll admin) targeting companies of 2-199 employees. Distribution is entirely domestic (Continental United States), and the in-house team is in the 11-50 range, consistent with a privately held, founder/operator-led SMB PEO rather than a venture-backed scale-up.
