Picking out a small business retirement plan can be daunting. This is why we see many small business owners, or those with side income, not taking advantage of a retirement plan for them or their employees. In most cases, this is because they are overwhelmed by the number of plan options, plan administration requirements, fiduciary responsibilities or they think they are too expensive.
On this episode we share some insights to options that are not as complicated or as expensive as you might think. Making this decision could put you on the fast track to significant tax savings while also saving more for your retirement goals.
