Combining both features creates flexibility for employee bonus structures while allowing employees and employers to save more for the future.
Starting a new 401(k) plan with profit-sharing requires a system that tracks contributions, investments, distributions, and IRS compliance. Ongoing administrative upkeep is typically outsourced to a Third-Party Administrator such as Ubiquity.
Setting up a profit-sharing plan as part of an existing 401(k) can be done by simply adding an amendment. As a 401(k) plan administrator, Ubiquity consults with clients to make sure the profit share aligns with business goals.
