One of the best ways to stand out in this difficult climate, and prevent your existing workers from jumping ship, is to offer some kind of tax-deferred retirement plan to your employees, something that only 25% of small businesses currently do. The cost of setting up a 401k plan can be inefficient and prohibitive for enterprises that only employ a few people, but there is another option, specially tailored to small companies. SIMPLE IRA plans are available to all U.S.-based companies that have fewer than 100 employees, and have no other retirement scheme currently in place. Set-up costs can be as low as $15 per employee, with minimal recurring expenses. Although they come with their share of limitations (the maximum contribution is a mere $6,000/year), and aren't as flexible for employers as 401k plans, the SIMPLE IRA structure's cost advantages are making it an increasingly popular alternative for smaller enterprises. |
