    Simply put, outside specialists can do it better, faster and for a lesser expense – while giving you more time to focus on growing your business.

    No matter how big or small your business, outsourcing as many of your non-core tasks as possible makes smart business sense. After all, it’s impossible to staff up in every possible area. That’s probably why you’ve brought in a partner for payroll.

    Now you can extend those same benefits to your retirement savings plan. You’ll reduce the time you spend on plan administration, mitigate risk and reduce the potential personal liability of your plan decision-makers, and give your employees the tools that can help them better build toward retirement.  It’s the best of all worlds. Better benefits for your employees.  Reduced liability for plan decision-makers.  Easier administration. Tailored to your company. And it can be yours for virtually no out-of-pocket costs.

    5 Things Every Employer Wants in a 401(K)

    You want to provide a retirement plan for your employees that…

    Benefit Providers and its administrator perform 99% of the administrative duties required for a company to offer a 401(k) to their employees. This removes the administrative burden from company employees and executives so you can focus on what’s most important – running your business

    You don’t want to be 401(k) experts

    Our retirement plans provide you with the comfort of knowing that your 401(k) is protected to the highest level allowed by law.

    Historically, more than 67% of all 401(k) plans fail a Department of Labor random audit. However, plans administered as directed by Benefit Providers TPA have never failed an audit or fallen out of compliance. This ensures that each plan is consistent in compliance with the DOL and IRS regulations.
