Introduction
As a small business owner, you wear many hats—from managing operations to ensuring your employees are happy and productive. One of the best ways to attract and retain top talent is by offering health insurance, but navigating the complexities of health plans can be overwhelming. That’s where health insurance brokers come in.
Jacolby “Jay” Gilliam and the Emmie Mae Health Advisors team specialize in helping small business owners find affordable and tailored health insurance solutions. With their expertise, you can save time, reduce costs, and provide the benefits your employees need.
The Benefits of Offering Health Insurance as a Small Business Owner
Attracting and Retaining Top Talent
Today’s employees expect health insurance benefits. Offering a robust health plan can make your business stand out, attracting skilled professionals and keeping your current team happy.
“Providing health insurance isn’t just about compliance—it’s about creating a workplace that people want to be part of,” says Jay Gilliam, founder of Emmie Mae Health Advisors.
Tax Benefits and Incentives
Offering health insurance can also be financially beneficial. Small business owners may qualify for tax deductions and credits, such as the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit, which can offset the cost of premiums.
Jacolby and his team help small business owners navigate these opportunities, ensuring they maximize savings while offering competitive benefits.
