You want your business to do more than survive – you want it to thrive. To a great extent, that depends on top performers at the executive level – individuals who deliver impressive return-on-investment. Therefore, you need Executive Benefits that will both attract and help retain them.

Deferral Plans

These include profit-sharing plans, 401(k), Safe Harbor 401(k), Money Purchase plans and Age-Weighted/New Comparability Plans. They work for all types of businesses. Contributions are made by the employee and/or employer.

Defined Benefit Plans

These also can work for all types of businesses and are especially attractive to companies with key employees over the age of 50 who have significant excess cash. Contributions are made by the employer. These types of plans allow the highest contributions and tax deductions.

Simplified Employee Pensions (SEP)

Simplified Employee Pensions are a good fit for sole-proprietors or businesses with only a few employees. They are simple, easy to set up and maintain, and have flexible contribution options. The employer makes the contributions for all employees.

Simple IRA

Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees are IRAs that work best for businesses with no more than 100 employees. Both employees and employer may contribute. Administration of the plan is relatively simpler than with a 401(k).

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans

These plans provide desirable rewards for highly compensated key employees. They allow additional savings and potentially higher retirement income. Not all employees are offered this benefit, but the plans are not subject to discrimination testing.
