Why A SIMPLE
Retirement Plan If You're
Self-Employed
Out of all the types of retirement plans available to small
business owners, the SIMPLE plan is the easiest to setup
and least expensive to manage. These plans are intended
to encourage small business employers to offer retirement
coverage to their employees.
SIMPLE plans work well for small
business owners who don't want to spend time and
high administration fees associated with more complex
retirement plans. SIMPLE plans really shine for self-employed
business owners.
