The Benefits Of Offering A 401(k) Or Profit Sharing Retirement Plan

When you’re a business owner, a 401(k) or profit-sharing plan is a must to help attract and retain talented employees. By implementing a profit-sharing plan, you can show employees that they are a critical component of your company’s success by rewarding them for their hard work. While it may seem like a benefit that only serves the employees, small business owners can reap several benefits as well, including:

  • Flexibility: As a business owner, you can determine a plan that works best for you and your organization. You can determine how contributions will be made, set eligibility requirements and vesting schedules, and decide how much to contribute or whether to make a contribution at all. 
  • Tax benefits: Employer contributions to a 401(k) and profit-sharing plan are tax-deductible for your company for the year in which they are made.
  • Attracting and retaining talented employees: According to a survey, 75% of new hires at a company offering a 401(k) plan say that a retirement plan provides a compelling reason to stay.

What Is A Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan?

A profit-sharing 401(k) plan gives business owners flexibility in how much they contribute to their employees’ 401(k) accounts. With this option, instead of a standard employee-match program where the employer will match the employee's contribution up to a certain amount, the employer has more flexibility and control over the contribution.

This still works similarly to any other 401(k) retirement plan. Every employee enrolled in the plan will have an account, and the business can add the desired pre-tax profits to the profit-sharing 401(k) account.
