As a business owner, setting up a retirement plan is not just about securing your own future — it's also a powerful tool to attract and retain top talent, reduce taxes, and enhance employee satisfaction. Whether you're an owner-only business or a larger employer, we offer tailored solutions to meet your unique needs.

Why Set Up a Retirement Plan?

• Tax Advantages: Contributions to retirement plans are often tax-deductible, reducing your taxable income. Additionally, earnings grow tax-deferred, allowing your investments to compound over time.
• Attract and Retain Talent: Offering a retirement plan demonstrates your commitment to your employees' financial well-being, making your business more competitive in the job market.
• Personal Retirement Savings: As a business owner, a retirement plan allows you to save for your own future while taking advantage of tax benefits.
• Employee Satisfaction: Providing a structured retirement plan fosters loyalty and improves morale, creating a more engaged and productive workforce.

Types of Retirement Plans

• Solo 401(k): Ideal for owner-only businesses or self-employed individuals. Allows high contribution limits and includes both employee and employer contributions.
• SEP IRA: Simplified Employee Pension plans are designed for self-employed individuals and small business owners. Contributions are tax-deductible and grow tax-deferred.
• SIMPLE IRA: A Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees, suitable for small businesses. Employees can contribute pre-tax income, and employers must match contributions.
• 401(k) Plans: Employer-sponsored plans that allow employees to contribute pre-tax income. Employers can also match contributions, making it a popular choice for larger businesses.
• Pension Plans: Employer-funded plans that provide guaranteed income in retirement based on salary and years of service. These are ideal for businesses looking to offer a more traditional benefit.

Benefits:

• Tax Savings: Contributions are tax-deductible, and earnings grow tax-deferred.
• Employee Retention: A retirement plan is a valuable benefit that helps retain top talent.
• Personal Savings: Allows you, as the owner, to save for your own retirement while reducing your taxable income.
• Improved Morale: Employees feel valued and secure, leading to higher productivity.

Considerations:

• Administrative Costs: Setting up and maintaining a retirement plan can involve fees and administrative work.
• Employer Contributions: Some plans require mandatory employer contributions, which can increase costs.
