Retirement Plans (Individual & Company)
Top Reasons to Have a Retirement Plan
- Nobody likes paying taxes – With tax rates going up and tax deductions getting fewer and fewer, contributing to a retirement plan not only provides tax deductions but can build your retirement nest egg. And companies get a tax break for providing a plan to employees – And a tax credit to set one up!
- Your money grows tax deferred – All the growth and interest of your money in this account is exempt from taxes until you take it out. This means that more of your money can potentially accumulate. Ask us about the tax-free-growth option as well?
- There is a whole world of investment options – There are many different investment options available to you, whether you are aggressive, conservative, sophisticated or a beginner.
- Your assets are protected – Certain retirement plans will protect your assets from creditors.
- Employee retention and satisfaction – The key to any successful business is retaining key employees. Keep your employees happy and your business will thrive.

What are the Advantages of Group Health Insurance?
Have you or someone in your family ever been denied health insurance or been rated making the costs seem almost unreasonably high? Applying for group health insurance for your business is not only a great benefit for employees but also guarantees insurability for every member and often costs less than individual insurance plans. Studies show group health insurance plans also improve employee retention.
How Can Life Insurance Help My Business?
Group Life Insurance (Section 79 Plans) allow business owners to automatically qualify for life insurance regardless of their health rating and grow additional assets tax-deferred. This benefit also allows the company to take partial deductions on premiums, saving the company money, and adding an additional benefit to select individuals chosen by the owners.
What is Key Employee Insurance?
- Does your company have various owners?
- Do they have beneficiaries such as a spouse or children?
- If one of the owners passes away, how will total/partial transfer of ownership of the business be carried out?
Very often beneficiaries of an ownership interest of a business may have little to no interest in running or managing the company, leaving the remaining owners in a difficult position of paying off beneficiaries with assets the company may not even have. By issuing Key Employee Insurance to the principals of the business, the organization is able to afford paying the owner’s beneficiaries to maintain ownership interests within the company and keeping everyone happy. This insurance can come in various forms and is not necessarily expensive.
