Retirement plans are no longer exclusive to big companies in America.
Small business owners can now work with 401(k) providers to create affordable savings plans to attract, retain, and reward workers, not to mention save for their own futures. As a small business 401(k) provider, Ubiquity can help you select the right plan features to fit your needs and help you enjoy the biggest tax savings. Should employers or employees wish to make changes to the plan, add new members to the plan, take out a loan, or rollover other funds into the 401(k), we’re there to assist.
We uniquely understand the challenges faced by our clients and offer a financial savings vehicle that saves time, money, and hassle. Since 1999, we’ve offered our plans for a low flat fee, with NO AUM or per-participant charges that penalize our clients’ success. Our plans are extremely flexible, so business owners get precisely what they need–no more, no less.
Cost is a major factor for small businesses, whether this is the company’s first plan or the business is seeking a more affordable provider. In years past, 401(k) plans were written exclusively for big corporations. Today, there are many more options, but all small business 401(k) plan providers are not created equal.

Auto-enrollment is the gold standard for ease of use. A good 401(k) provider can get participants on board quickly and easily to boost your plan’s participation rate and earn your small business an extra $500 annual tax credit1 for the first three years of a new plan.

Here are some questions to ask a 401(k) provider:
Plan design flexibility varies from provider to provider. Businesses will want a plan that can be tailored to their specific business goals, be it the ability to make discretionary contributions, accumulate greater savings, avoid paying taxes in retirement, or access loans borrowed against the 401(k).
The right plan provider will help you gain a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining talent. Financial wellness tools help workers save enough for retirement, ease their anxieties, and improve their workplace productivity as a result.
The best 401(k) plans come with:
When you have questions or concerns about your plan, you need a 401(k) provider who is there with immediate, effective support.
What if profits are down and the employer needs to scale back their offerings mid-year? What if the vesting schedule isn’t retaining staff as well as it could? What if employees aren’t happy with the investment portfolio performance?
In looking for a 401(k) provider, employers can search for employee support that includes:

Employers with 50 or fewer employees qualify for a 100% tax credit, while those with 100-50 employees can receive a 50% tax credit. Additional eligibility criteria include having at least one non-highly compensated employee, an employee who received at least $5,000 in compensation in the preceding year and having substantially the same employees receiving contributions or benefits from another plan sponsored by the employer, a member of a controlled group, or a predecessor within the three tax years prior to becoming eligible. Employers with automatic enrollment plans can receive an extra tax credit of $500 per year for a three-year taxable period.
