Empowering the Engines of Business
Keeping talented employees is the backbone of many successful businesses and having access to quality employer-based retirement plans is the backbone for many people’s future financial well-being.
Small businesses employ 58.9 million people, which makes up 47.5% of the country’s total employee workforce.
- SBA, 2019
Common Concerns
- Losing talent to firms with better retirement benefits?
- Finding retirement plan solutions too costly or complex?
- Have an existing retirement plan but don't remember the last time you saw your Account Executive?
- Don't believe you have the fiduciary knowledge or experience to manage a retirement plan appropriately?
- Your business is in Maryland state and has not yet complied with the new Maryland state-mandated retirement plan law?
Why Does This Matters?
Small Businesses may be Affected by:
- Lower retention puts a strain on business budgets and existing employee morale
- Greater financial stress and financial insecurity about their future may reduce employee productivity or increase turnover
-
A business may be out of compliance with existing state-mandated retirement plans and/or DOL ERISA guidelines
- For example, Maryland requires small businesses with 2 years of operation AND with 5 or more employees on automatic payroll to provide a form of employer retirement plan option.
