Common Questions About Group Retirement Plans

Is my company too small to offer a plan?

This is the most common obstacle holding business owners back, and it’s simply not true. Whether you have a handful of employees or many – you qualify.

Can I afford it?

There are no direct employer costs associated with implementing a retirement plan. All fees come from the fund’s investment fees.

Do I have to match?

Can you afford employer-matching contributions? Well, you don’t have to. It’s a common misconception that businesses must match employee contributions, but the reality is you are not required to match. Employees will still benefit from lower fees offered through the group platform.
