## Get your ducks in a row

Your evaluation of embedded payroll starts before you talk to potential partners. The Buyers' Guide will help you identify key stakeholders internally and align with them on priorities for your evaluation.

After all, you're *building a business*, not just launching a new product.

## Ready to ask the right questions

Embedded payroll is a long-term partnership but it can be hard to think years into the future when everything is on the table. The Buyers' Guide will help you identify launch and growth questions before you write any code.

After all, *the one-stop-shop* your customers want needs an agile and scalable partner.

After all, *your unique solution* is built on your partner's expertise and infrastructure.

> “We looked at a couple of different options for our embedded payroll partner. We chose Gusto first because both of our companies share a similar vision to serve SMBs. Second, I came to trust that they know payroll better than others. And third, we felt better educated from the documentation and as we discussed designing payroll into the Heard platform with the Gusto Embedded team.”
