Why small business owners love Bento

Samir Desai, CEO, Aditi Inc.

“As a small business owner, it made a lot of sense to offer the Bento Cash Plan for my employees. On a personal note, my tab for a recent dentist visit was $15,000, and I ended up only having to pay $6000. Bento saved me an astounding $9000! Thank you, Bento.”

Mark Carroll, CEO, Trinity Hospice

“We have been with Bento since 2018. Since launching the original plan, we’ve expanded our dental benefits to a second business. In each case, we were pleased to offer a great plan. We aren’t paying costly premiums and employees are happy to have a dental benefit!”

Dawn Roberts, Controller, NECUS

“Bento has been great for our company. The ease of use of the app helps my employees to easily check their benefits and have up-to-date information as to where they stand throughout the year. No dental cards to carry is a plus. As an administrator, Bento is very easy to deal with and very flexible when it came to designing our plan and has little to no real administrative work once the plan is set up and running. Employees tell me dentists love the plan as they get paid quickly once the claim is submitted.”
