Hi Team, Jason and I recently met with Opolis to learn more about their insurance offerings and other services for entrepreneurs. Wanted to flag it in case it's useful for you too — it's a co-op worth checking out if you want the benefits of a W2 (for lenders, etc) without having a W2. Our CFO/accountant recommended them, but of course, do your own due diligence. Feel free to reach out to David (info below) if you'd like more details. What is Opolis Opolis is a cooperative designed to support independent professionals by providing essential services by leveraging our group size. We are using the power of regenerative economics to create a way of working that benefits all, not just a Corporate extractor at the top of a typical Corporate ladder. John, our founder, has employed over 40,000 W2 employees in a traditional payroll and staffing company, so you are in the hands of an experienced team fighting for the greater good! As part of the co-op, you’ll gain access to four core pillars that make Opolis unique: 1. Community and Expert Support Opolis is built around a supportive network of solopreneurs and independent professionals like you. Our members have access to a community of peers and expert stewards who are dedicated to helping you succeed. Whether you’re looking for advice, resources, or connections, we’ve got you covered. 2. Discounted Partner Services As a co-op member, you’ll benefit from exclusive discounts on essential services provided by our trusted partners, including business banking, bookkeeping, CPA support, and more. These discounts are possible thanks to the collective buying power of the co-op, which allows us to negotiate lower rates for all members. 3. Simplified Taxes with Personalized Payroll Our payroll services are designed to simplify your tax filings, optimize your tax deductions, and provide proof of income for those moments you need it most (e.g., applying for loans). Personalized payroll services ensure you receive the financial support and tools tailored to your unique business needs.
