Break into the Small Business Market
Are startups and small businesses getting left out of tax-advantaged retirement savings?
Look at the numbers, and it’s hard to argue they’re not. Of the more than five million small businesses with fewer than 100 employees in the United States, just 14%, or roughly 735,000, currently sponsor a retirement plan. That leaves over four million small businesses and their employees without access.
This represents a significant untapped market for large 401(k) institutions and investment firms. In practice, large 401(k) institutions have struggled for years to find an economically viable way to service these customers.
Ubiquity Retirement + Savings™, the original low-cost, flat-fee 401(k) plan provider, has been serving small businesses with 1-100 employees across all 50 states since 1999. Using our turnkey solution, large institutions can easily extend the benefits of 401(k) retirement savings to the startup and small business market. With our consumer-friendly, fully automated self-service platform, your customers can set up their plans in minutes.
You can extend your footprint to this underserved market—driving revenue without expense—like we’ve done for several other 401(k) providers.
Given the fractured nature of the marketing and the relatively low assets under management, large 401(k) institutions have long struggled to find a profitable business model for startups.
Existing institutional 401(k) platforms are typically built for more comprehensive plans, offering features that smaller businesses don’t need and at prices they often can’t afford. The result: the vast majority of startup and small business employees have been effectively cut out of the 401(k) marketplace.

With Ubiquity’s turnkey white-label solution, your small business customers and advisors can access the industry’s leading small business, flat-fee 401(k) platform. Our 401(k) plans are designed and priced specifically for businesses with less than 100 employees and have already helped hundreds of thousands of people save more than $2 billion towards their retirement.
Using our proprietary Paradigm™ software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, you can offer low-cost retirement plans for small business and sole proprietor customers directly through your brand experience. You can choose the investment options and deliver a consumer- and mobile-friendly customer experience under your own brand, with little or no effort from your team.

At the core of Ubiquity’s small business 401(k) is our proprietary Paradigm SaaS platform. It provides a state-of-the-art, easy-to-use, and multi-channel experience explicitly designed for small businesses.

Demand for small business 401(k) plans is genuine—and growing.

At Ubiquity, we’ve been tackling the small business retirement challenge since 1999. With nearly two decades of experience serving small business customers and our proprietary, fully-owned enrollment and record-keeping platform, we lead the industry in flat-fee small business 401(k) plans.
