Retirement Plans for your Business

Find the right retirement plan for your business.

Of the many retirement plan options available, discover which one works best for you.

Not all retirement plans are the same.

All of today’s most popular employer-sponsored retirement plans—the SEP, SIMPLE IRA, profit sharing, 401(k), and Individual(k)—are designed to help you and your employees make the most of saving for retirement on the job. But each plan has different features and requirements. One type of plan may be a better fit over another for your particular business.

Before deciding which one to go with, consider

• your reasons for establishing a plan,
• the time and expense of maintaining and funding a plan, and
• your employee demographics (such as age, income, and retirement goals).

You should also consult a competent tax or financial advisor.
