Business Services
Whether you are self-employed, a small business owner, or operate a larger corporation with multiple employees, determining appropriate retirement plan solutions takes specialized expertise.
Establishing a Retirement Plan
To attract professional and loyal employees, competitive businesses need to have a retirement plan for their workforce. Whether it’s a SIMPLE, SEP or 401(k), today’s employees expect some type of retirement plan. There are so many different types of plans to choose from, and each has unique features that are appropriate for some employers but not others. It is important that you select and implement the plan that best suits your needs, the needs of your business, and the needs of your employees. However, we’ve found that top management usually doesn’t have the time or the expertise to create, operate and maintain a retirement plan.
That’s where IFS comes in. Our team can do all these things for your company. We can determine what plan suits your needs, recommend investment options and vendors and maintain a plan that will limit your liability. We will conduct on-site education and training sessions with you and your employees. A good plan can only be successful when everyone understands the benefits and options.
Whether you’re self-employed, a small business owner or a larger corporation with multiple employees, consider setting up one of the following types of plans:
- Payroll deduction IRA plan
- Simplified employee pension (SEP) plan
- SIMPLE IRA plan
- SIMPLE 401(k) plan
- 401(k) plan
- Profit-sharing plan
- Money purchase pension plan
- Age-weighted profit-sharing plan
- New comparability plan
- Thrift/savings plan
- Defined benefit plan
- Target benefit plan
- Cash balance plan
- Employee stock ownership plan (ESOP)
- Keogh plan (a qualified retirement plan established by a self-employed individual or partnership)
Let IFS put a plan into perspective for you.
