Frequently Asked Questions

  • The right plan depends on your number of employees, cash flow, contribution goals, and business needs. Options may include SIMPLE IRAs, SEP IRAs, 401(k)s, profit-sharing plans, and cash balance plans.

  • A 401(k) may make sense when you want to increase retirement savings, strengthen employee benefits, or support recruiting and retention. The right timing depends on your business and workforce.

  • A retirement plan should be reviewed regularly to evaluate its investments, fees, plan design, participation, and service providers. Business growth or other major changes can also be a good reason for a review.

  • Certain retirement plan strategies may help business owners build retirement savings while creating potential tax benefits. The right approach depends on the business, plan design, and owner’s tax situation.
