If you are reading this page, you are probably one of thousands of Illinois small business owners researching the best retirement option for your business and your employees before the upcoming deadline.
As of November 1st, 2022, all Illinois businesses with 16-24 employees are required to sign up for the one-size-fits-all, state-provided Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or select an eligible retirement plan with a private provider. When making a choice between an IRA and a private 401(k), you need to be aware of the key differences between those two products:
(*Up to $5,000 per year, plus an additional $500 per year for automatic enrollment for the first 3 years)

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Ubiquity has only flat fees that don’t cost you more as your retirement savings grow. But with IL’s state plan, your fee will get bigger and bigger as your retirement balance grows over the years. Over 30 years you’ll end up with over $124,022 more money with us vs using the IL state plan. The better plan is clear – the Ubiquity 401(k)!
Let’s look at the following example:
Jennifer and Joshua each have retirement plans that they contribute $6,000 to every year. Jennifer’s plan is with Ubiquity Retirement + Savings and her fees are flat $6/month. Joshua’s plan is with Secure Choice and his annual asset based % fee is 0.75%.
It grows an average of 10% every year. At the end of 30 years Jennifer’s account is worth $1,088,436, with fees of $16,146 with her Ubiquity 401(k).
Joshua’s account is only worth $964,413, with fees of $66,547. Ubiquity’s flat fees could help you end up with over $124,022 more money over 30 years vs. IL Secure Choice IRA¹.
You can either choose the state plan with limited options or you can choose the better plan, the one thousands of your fellow IL small business owners have chosen: the Ubiquity 401(k).

1. This limit is subject to cost-of-living increases for later years (for prior years, refer to this cost-of-living adjustment table.)
2. Eligible employers may be able to claim a tax credit of up to $5,000, for three years, for ordinary and necessary costs of starting a 401(k) plan. IRS’ qualifying factors are: you had 100 or fewer employees who received at least $5,000 in compensation from you in the preceding year, you had at least one participant who was a non-highly compensated employee (NHCE) and in the three tax years before the first year you’re eligible for the credit, your employees were substantially the same employees who received contributions or accrued benefits in another plan sponsored by you, a member of a controlled group that includes you, or a predecessor of either. Those plans with automatic enrollment can claim a tax credit of $500 per year for a 3 year taxable period.
