Trying to figure out how to plan for retirement, or how to help the employees of your small business do so? You might want to pop over and check out Sharebuilder 401(K). I spotted this site on the Resources page of Entrepreneur and just had to go take a look.
According to the website, plans start as low as $15 a month per participant, and all your dealings are online. (One of the things I happen to like about ING Direct for my Orange Savings, personally.) If you're already using QuickBooks for payroll the Sharebuilder programs will mesh with it.
As you might imagine, there are tax benefits to both you and your employees for participating in a 401(K) program. Those of you who have a loyal crew and want to reward them with a perk most folks assume only comes with a corporate position might want to consider this as the next step. It's a handy-dandy recruiting tool too, to be able to say that you offer such retirement planning options.
