Hopefully they use some of this funding to start expanding to new states quicker. I was told last year they'd be available in my state by Q3 2103. That deadline came and went and now I'm being told "by the end of 2014."

The current major companies offering payroll (SurePayroll and ADP) are both expensive difficult to use. I'm currently with SurePayroll and it sucks major balls. It's expensive, (I have 1 full time employee and 1 part time employee that I pay both by check and I think it's upwards of $80 a month for the two of them). Simple tasks that should be easy take multiple steps. I tried updating my bank account information and they required me to fax it in. I'm under 30 and have never used a fax machine. Huge time drain just to update an account and routing number.

I want so badly to switch to ZenPayroll, as I've read so many great things about it. I'll keep crossing my fingers they'll hurry up and get more states on board. The online payroll space is absolutely ready for a game changer, and a company that gets it right will make a ton of money.

In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women.

So I have to pay 2% more than similar "simple" credit card processors and I don't get the funds until the end of the month?

Cash flow is super important to any business, particularly small ones. That extra 2% adds up to thousands of dollars if you start seeing any significant sales.

No thanks.
