• Specialized Services and Revenue Generating Activities– Retirement Plans
• The owner of a small business has two choices to consider when setting up a retirement plan: a qualified retirement plan or s Simplified Employee Pension (SEP). A qualified plan is any plan that is subject to the ERISA rules, such as a profit-sharing or money purchase plan or a defined benefit pension plan. An SEP is a simplified alternative to a qualified plan, in essence a group IRA with individual accounts.
