Common questions.

Can a different plan lower our fees?
Compare your current fee disclosures with the proposed plan, including the services each covers. Any savings depend on those terms and are not guaranteed.
Can our team choose their own investments?
The proposal should spell out the managed and self-directed options, investment access and automatic contributions available to employees.
What does switching providers involve?
Asset transfers, payroll coordination, employee communication and any blackout period. The details depend on the current and new providers.
What plan types can we consider?
Traditional and Safe Harbor 401(k) plans, profit sharing, and cash balance plans for owners who want to save more. The right combination depends on your census, contribution goals and testing requirements.
