isolved®, a provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions that help organizations recruit, retain and elevate their workforce, today announced isolved Venture, a groundbreaking program designed to empower top-performing sales professionals to launch their own HCM business without the burden of building back-office infrastructure. The program is built on isolved People Cloud™, which was recently ranked number one in payroll for SMBs in both User Experience and Vendor Satisfaction in Sapient Insights Group’s 28th Annual HR Systems Survey. This recognition reinforces the strength of the award-winning platform and services that support every Venture participant.
“isolved Venture is the fastest path for top sellers to become business owners and build real wealth,” said Todd LaFever, President and COO at isolved. “Entrepreneurs can focus on growth while isolved manages the operations, backed by our award-winning platform and a collaborative partner community. The model works, as we’ve been in the business of making business owners millionaires for a decade.”
How isolved Venture Works
Venture equips entrepreneurs with:
- Day-one readiness: Fully managed back-office support so participants can focus on client relationships from day one.
- Go-to-market tools: Participant-specific resources including pitch decks, battle cards and product collateral.
- Community advantage: A peer network of advisors and entrepreneurs sharing best practices to accelerate success.
- Scalable growth: A clear path to expanding with a built-in exit strategy.
- In-person and digital workshops: A full-day business bootcamp.
Unlike a franchise, isolved Venture functions more like an incubator or accelerator for new payroll businesses. Participants maintain full ownership and control of their business while working with isolved People Cloud and its proven services.
Market Opportunity
Payroll remains the foundation of workforce management, and demand for reliable payroll providers has never been higher. isolved’s 2025 Service Bureau Insights Report shows that 85 percent of organizations already partner with a service bureau, and 42 percent specifically use a payroll provider. Yet loyalty is far from guaranteed: 42 percent of payroll clients are considering switching providers in the next year, creating a significant opening for new entrants.
At the same time, 71 percent of HR leaders say they could benefit from outsourcing payroll and other HR tasks, but only 41 percent plan to do so this year. This outsourcing gap represents a major opportunity for entrepreneurs entering the market through isolved Venture. By combining a proven payroll platform with back-office support and trusted services, participants can step in to meet client demand for accuracy, compliance and efficiency while building lasting relationships in a market ready for change.
Expanding the Partner Ecosystem
isolved Venture complements, rather than competes with, the established isolved Network of service bureau partners. While Network Partners continue growing their client base, isolved Venture expands brand reach by empowering entrepreneurial sellers to build their own books of business in the small-to-midsize employer market.
