Please call us as soon as you know of potential changes in your situation. We can help you plan for the future, and such planning will save you a lot of concerns down the road.

- Adding your spouse/children as paid employees
- Increase/reduction in business income
- At the point of actually retiring
Changing your business/ becoming an employee:
- You might become an employee of another company, you might decide to expand your business by adding a lot of employees, you might buy a piece of another business
Buying/selling a company
- We can really be useful in preparing for the sale, and guiding you through the options for your retirement plan – our guidance and support will carry a lot of weight with the purchasing/selling company’s advisors
Adding new employees
- we might suggest to you alternatives: 1) freezing or terminating your existing plan, 2) adding on a second plan but dramatically revising the main plan to provide you with the major benefits, or 3) other useful alternatives as the situation warrants.
Adding your spouse/children as paid employees
- if your spouse is an employee and your company pays a salary of $20,000 to he or she, if you have a 401k plan your spouse can put $16,500 into the 401k ($22,000 if he/she is age 50 or over), and deduct this employee deferral on the W-2
- similarly, if your children perform valuable services, and you pay them $11,000, they can each have an employee deferral of $10,000 deducted on the W-2 with a 401k plan
- if you adopt a Defined Benefit plan, the contributions for a spouse can be much higher
At the point of actually retiring
