Why Small Business Owners Should Switch to a Local Payroll Provider for the New Year

As we gear up for a new year, it’s the perfect time for small business owners to evaluate their service providers. Many businesses launch new partnerships or switch to services that better align with their needs. If you’re considering mixing things up with your payroll service provider, there’s no better time than the beginning of the year.

In this blog, we’ll explore why switching to a local Charleston or New Jersey payroll provider like AdvantEdge HR is wise for your small business in 2025.

The Benefits of Working with a Local Payroll Provider

Switching to a new payroll provider can be much simpler than you think. At AdvantEdge HR, our payroll company has made it easy for businesses to transition in the New Year. Since there’s no need to carry over previous payroll history, our payroll outsourcing experts add your active employees and their demographic and payroll information into our system. That means that by January 1st, your employees will be paid on time, and your payroll system will run smoothly from the very first pay period.

Plus, your previous payroll provider can handle year-end obligations, such as filing taxes and issuing W-2s and 1099s, so you can start fresh without worrying about the past. When you choose a local payroll and HR partner, you’re not just choosing a service provider but a true partner who understands your business’s needs.
