A random staffing agency may not want to do this.  However, there are
companies that specialize in being "employer of record" and give access to
group insurance, provide billing services, etc.  I haven't used one
myself, but an acquaintance once recommended mybizoffice.com (now
MBOPartners.com) based on his experience with one.

Google

    employer of record services

to locate some options and some articles discussing them.
