TWO RETIREMENT PLAN OPTIONS Still Available this Year
WITH POTENTIAL BENEFITS FOR OWNERS & KEY EMPLOYEES
Safe Harbor 401(k) and Cash Balance Plans are two options that may allow company owners and key employees to save more for retirement. Please note: both types of plans can still be set up this year in order to provide tax savings benefit for the full tax year.
As noted below, the deadline for implementation of a Safe Harbor 401(k) plan is October 1st, however, most third-party plan administrators (TPAs) require plan paperwork by or around August 15th. In order to implement your plan by the deadline, please contact BFG by August 7th if you’re interested in getting started.
