Can self-employed people establish retirement plans?

Yes. The appropriate structure depends on business type, income, employees, contribution goals and administration requirements.

Can a retirement plan help employees?

A well-selected plan may support recruitment and retention, but eligibility, nondiscrimination, employer contributions, fees and fiduciary duties must be understood.

Should the business be my entire retirement plan?

A business may be valuable, but sale timing, buyers, valuation and owner dependence create uncertainty. Diversification and succession planning can reduce reliance on one future transaction.
