Retirement Plan Options Available for Garden Grove, CA Businesses

If you're thinking about setting up a retirement plan for your Garden Grove, CA business, there are a multitude of plan options our retirement plan consultants can discuss with you:

  • 401(k) Plans The bedrock of American retirement plans, 401(k)s enable for diverse investments across stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs, and permit employees to save and invest a percentage of their paycheck before taxes are deducted. Employers can choose to match contributions. Safe Harbor 401(k) plans are largely the same, but employer contributions are required to be fully vested when made. In exchange, safe harbor 401(k)s are not subject to annual nondiscrimination tests.
  • 403(b) Plans Similar to 401(k)s, 403(b)s are tailored for employees of tax-exempt organizations.
  • Defined Benefit (Pension) Plans While 401(k)s and other defined contribution plans operate based on employees contributing a specific amount or percentage of their earnings, defined benefit plans promise a predetermined monthly withdrawal once an employee reaches retirement. These plans are mostly employer-funded, and the company takes on the investment risk.
  • Cash Balance Plans Cash balance plans are one form of defined benefit plan that tracks each participant's balance in a hypothetical account, which increases every year through employer contributions and an interest credit rate. This plan offers consistent returns like a traditional pension but with individual accounts similar to a defined contribution plan. It's an appealing option for businesses looking for a middle ground between the certainty of pensions and the flexibility of contribution plans.
  • Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs SEP plans offer an uncomplicated way for small businesses to provide retirement benefits. Employers make contributions directly to an IRA established for each employee. SEPs are straightforward to manage, with no significant red tape, and contributions are deductible for the business. They're especially well-suited for businesses with variable profits, as the contribution amounts can be modified annually.
  • Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRA SIMPLE IRAs are tailored to small businesses with 100 or fewer employees. These plans are simpler to manage than 401(k)s but allow employees to contribute a part of their income to the plan, which employers are required to match up to a certain percentage. SIMPLE IRAs are a great choice for small businesses looking to offer a more traditional retirement plan without the complexities of larger plans.
  • Profit-Sharing Plans Profit-sharing plans are flexible retirement solutions that enable employers to make optional contributions to their employees' retirement funds. Contributions are typically made out of the company's profits, giving employees an incentive to contribute to the company's bottom line. These plans are adaptable in many ways, offering flexibility in how contributions are distributed and calculated among employees.
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) ESOPs offer employees with company stock, offering them an ownership interest in the business. ESOPs are not only a retirement benefit but also synchronize financial goals of employees with those of the company's performance, which can boost productivity and job satisfaction. ESOPs can also be part of a company's succession planning as ownership shares can be passed to top employees who will eventually lead of the business.
