As a small business owner, you may have questions about what you can do to help get you and your employees insurance coverage. Corporate Benefit Systems (CBS) is developing a marketplace specifically designed for small businesses with one to 50 eligible employees. Corporate Benefit Systems will make it easier to compare a variety of qualified, competing health plans from private insurance companies, including group plans that you might think are only offered to large businesses. Corporate Benefit Systems will give you as an employer the opportunity to offer your employees a full range of first-rate health insurance options, all while making the process much easier than doing it on your own.

Small business owners know that the ability to offer employees high-quality health insurance is a competitive advantage in the labor market. Providing health insurance to employees helps you recruit and retain the best talent. It also helps keep your employees healthier, happier and more productive.

Corporate Benefit Systems will support your small business by helping to:

• Simplify Choices. Corporate Benefit Systems will provide side-by-side comparisons of health plans, their benefits, premiums and quality.
• Expand Employee Options. Corporate Benefit Systems will enable you to offer your employees a choice of Qualified Health Plans from several insurance companies, similar to those offered by large employers.
• Provide You Control. You will be able to decide whether and when to participate in coverage for your employees. You will be able to choose your own level of contribution toward your employees' coverage. 
• Make Insurance Affordable.  In addition, if your business has fewer than 25 employees, you may be eligible for small business tax credits when you offer health coverage for your employees through Corporate Benefit Systems.
