How adding a 401(k) can improve your business

A 401(k) plan has a lot of benefits for businesses. It is important to employees but it can also help you to retain and attract new talent. We discuss why adding a 401(k) plan is the right move for your business.

Benefits of Adding a 401(k) Retirement Plan To Your Business

Retirement benefits can help to improve your business outlook. Here are some ways it achieves this goal:

  • It helps your business to recruit the best talent

It can be tough to find the right candidates for your business. When candidates and potential staff are considering your business, they don’t just look at the salary on offer, but they also consider retirement benefits to be important to them. Adding a 401(k) plan can help your business hire and retain the best staff to help your company grow.

  • Lower tax for employees and employers

When business owners and employees contribute their salary to a 401(k) plan, their income is reduced, which puts them in a lower tax bracket. The result is they both pay a lower tax liability at the end of the financial year. 

  • Lower tax deductions for businesses

A 401(k) plan contribution by an employer may qualify as a business expense, which automatically makes them tax-deductible. Small businesses can especially benefit from 401(k) accounts as any matching or profit-sharing contributions are tax-deductible, giving them a much-needed saving on business tax.

How to add a 401(k) plan to improve your business?

Business tax can be a significantly large portion of a business’s expense. Small businesses and start-ups can benefit the most from taking advantage of a 401(k) plan for tax deductions. Larger benefits can increase productivity and employee loyalty to their business by providing them with retirement benefits. 

To add a 401(k) plan, you need to hire a financial accountant or bookkeeper who will help you with payroll services and retirement benefits. An accountant can help you with tax preparation and deductions that come from the 401(k) plan.
