Using your 401k Retirement Funds To Acquire a Business…

Small businesses are the backbone of the United States economy and investing in them is an option for your retirement plan. For many people, this means, investing in yourself is the only way to go.

All around us, people are raising money to start, grow, or buy a business and your IRA can participate. Your IRA can invest in all different types of businesses, including “C” corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, hedge funds, and private debt placements. About the only option unavailable to your IRA are shares of an “S” corporation.

Investing in private businesses presents a great growth opportunity for your retirement portfolio. As with any growth-type investment, this area comes with its share of risks, and the rules governing prohibited transactions must be followed.

Recent IRS Examination Guidelines have shed light on areas of concern with some plan designs and operation. Most notable is a plan design that does not enable rank-and-file employees to acquire company stock and the lack of supportive analysis to substantiate the value of the stock purchased by the plan. Founded by Leonard Fischer, Esq. one of the nation's leading experts on retirement plans, BeneTrends' plan design includes a mandatory provision allowing all employees to acquire company stock under the plan. In addition, all new plans require a stock appraisal prepared by an independent valuation firm.

For more than seventeen years, BeneTrends has had a major role in helping thousands of people establish retirement plans, start-up and buy businesses and create thousands of jobs. "We have always been proud of our reputation in the industry and the fact that we pioneered the use of retirement plans to invest in new and existing businesses", says Mr. Fischer. "We will continue helping people finance the American dream of small business ownership, using our Rainmaker Plan® for many years to come.

Who better to handle your business funding and retirement plan needs
than the one company that’s always had it right?
