Let the IRS give your
employees a raise.
Most business owners have never heard of Section 125 — a federal tax code that puts $72 more per paycheck in your employees' pockets and saves you $681+ per employee, per year. Zero cost to you or your employees. Your team gets a raise. You save thousands. The government covers both.

Section 125 Payroll Tax Savings for San Pedro Businesses
San Pedro is home to a high concentration of port-adjacent trucking, drayage, medical transport, and small-to-mid restaurant operators — exactly the profile that benefits most from Section 125. David Newman is a San Pedro local and Eagle Scout, working with businesses in 90731 and surrounding zip codes.
The Port of Los Angeles drives most of San Pedro's commercial activity — drayage, harbor trucking, longshore-adjacent logistics, and the medical-transport network that serves Providence Little Company of Mary and the broader harbor-area health system. Workers' Comp rates in these categories run 7–10%, which makes Section 125's combined FICA + WC reduction unusually impactful here.
Black Tiger Transportation — a Southern California medical transport company — is the local marquee case study. They save $140,000/year. Their CEO is a CPA who personally reviewed every IRS code before signing.
What this looks like in practice.
“I conducted a thorough review of all pertinent IRS codes and compliance documentation. The findings were compelling, prompting a swift decision to enroll my company.”

Skepticism is the right response. We don't ask you to take our word for it — we bring institutional proof that convinced CPAs, CFOs, attorneys, and insurance brokers to enroll their own companies.

35+ years as an Employee Benefits attorney specializing in IRC Section 125, ERISA, HIPAA, and the ACA. Her May 5, 2025 opinion letter concludes: “In this firm's opinion, the Program described satisfies applicable IRS requirements.”
She specifically reviewed the IRS Chief Counsel Advice memoranda on "double-dip" arrangements — the exact schemes the IRS has flagged — and concluded this program is built differently and compliantly.

CBIZ independently reviewed the program against IRC §§ 125, 105, and 106, plus ERISA, ACA, and COBRA requirements. Their August 22, 2025 letter concludes: “If operated per its provisions, the Program appears to satisfy the requirements of ERISA, the ACA, and COBRA as well.”
This review was commissioned by Affinity Hospice's CEO before enrolling his nationwide organization — and the CFO (himself a CPA) shared the letter publicly in his testimonial.
Direct From the U.S. Government
Section 125 has been in the Internal Revenue Code since 1978. Congress wrote it there specifically to encourage employers to fund preventive healthcare for American workers. This is not a loophole — it is the precise, intended use of a 47-year-old federal law, grounded in IRS Revenue Ruling 69-154, the specific published ruling supporting the benefit payment structure.
