Small Business Retirement Plans

Retirement Plan Services

A strong retirement plan makes it easier for your small business to attract — and retain —qualified, committed workers. It can also help foster the work culture you always envisioned for your company.

But, we realize that overseeing a retirement plan is a big job. So, we make it easier for you by completely managing your company’s retirement plan — from plan design and implementation to investments and education — no matter how many employees you have.

Whether you’re thinking about offering retirement benefits for the first time or maybe want to have your existing plan evaluated, we’re here to help.

Plan Design and Implementation

We'll work closely with you to develop and implement a retirement plan that makes sense for both your small business and your employees. We offer plans for both private and public sectors, including:

• Defined Benefit Plans (i.e. traditional pension plans)
• Defined Contribution Plans
  • 401(k) Plans, including Profit-Sharing Plans and Safe Harbor 401(k) Plans
  • 403(b) Plans
  • Money Purchase Plans
  • 457(b) Plans

Working with Your Employees

A successful retirement plan needs well-informed employees.

We’ll provide your employees with the information they need to understand their benefits and make smart decisions for their retirement. Our fully-engaged, knowledgeable consultants can walk your employees through it every step of the way. We can provide:

• Enrollment assistance
• In-person retirement and financial education presentations
• One-on-one employee consultations

Participant and Plan Sponsor Education Center

Retirement planning can be a challenge for both plan sponsors and retirees. To help you plan, we’ve created this list of useful resources, including websites, FAQs, and more.

Plan Sponsors

Both the 401(k) Help Center and the Department of Labor websites contain a wide variety of articles and tools for plan sponsors.  From the DOL website, you can go directly to the Employee Benefits Security Administration, which has additional publications about retirement plans.

With so many investments to choose from, you need the right mix to build enough savings that will last through a long retirement. Learn how a target date fund can help you achieve that goal.

The Department of Labor offers tool kits and articles about preparing for retirement on their site. We’ve also included links to the Social Security Administration and AARP websites, which all retirees should reference.
