Benefits News Daily has a new article which delves into recommended best practices for employee benefits coverage for start-ups and small businesses as well as the self-employed. 

Some of the core types of coverage that the article promotes considering are disability insurance, liability insurance, retirement plans, and health insurance - which the article supplies several potential paths for obtaining, such as through the healthcare.gov ACA exchange, Cobra, or PEOs (Professional Employer Organizations). 

The article also reminds readers of several additional considerations that should be taken into account, including payroll taxes and self-employment taxes when applicable.
