Benefits of Implementing a Retirement Plan

Tax Benefits

Depending on the type of plan, you may receive tax benefits as a business for setting up a plan for your employees. For example, with a 401(k) plan, employees contribute pre-tax income and employers can deduct contributions on their federal income tax, within certain limitations. There may be additional tax credits for plan start-up expenses, which our advisors can help you explore.

Competitive Benefits

Potential employees often compare companies in terms of salary and benefits. If you’re not currently offering a retirement plan, you may not stack up to other employers. Conversely, a strong plan can help you attract top talent.

Retention

Attracting new hires is only part of the battle, and it’s important to also consider how you can reduce turnover and keep your best employees. A retirement plan also helps in this regard because employees appreciate the opportunity to work toward their financial goals, especially if you offer employer matching.
