Become proficient in identifying candidates and implementing cash balance plans.
Many successful business owners desire larger tax deductions and accelerated retirement savings. Their existing 401(k)/profit sharing plan is not cutting it due to the restrictive contribution limits. Implementing a cash balance plan may be the best solution for such owners, as cash balance plans allow for significantly greater contributions on an annual basis. This topic is designed to help you understand how cash balance plans operate, as well as help you identify ideal cash balance plan candidates. With the cash balance plan market growing by double digits every year, it is important to become well-versed in these powerful retirement vehicles.
