So, which one is the best choice for your business? That depends on your business model and on your goals and objectives for the plan, which could include:
- Do you currently have a plan? Are you sure it is the best approach for you and your business?
- How many employees do you have?
- Do you have high employee turnover or not?
- Do you want to fund the employee account by yourself or you want your employees to also be able to contribute?
- Do you want to keep expenses as low as possible or is maximizing the flexibility and investment options more important?
- Do you have employees other than you, your spouse or business partner?
- Do you want employees to be able to take loans from the plan?
- Which is a higher priority – maximum contributions or simple administration?
- Etc. Etc.
