Frequently Asked Questions
How does offering a 401(k) retirement plan benefit my business?
Here’s a few key benefits:
- Recruitment and retention: Retirement benefits help attract and retain top talent - especially in 2022’s tight labor market. More than 3 in 4 (77 percent) working Americans rank retirement savings—such as 401(k) and pension plans—as one of the most important employer-sponsored financial wellness benefits.
- Tax advantages: Employer contributions are deductible on the employer’s federal income tax return, up to a certain amount. And if you’re starting a new 401(k) plan, you may be eligible to receive up to $16,500 in tax credits over the first three years to offset the business expense of setting up your 401(k).

Why should I choose Vestwell for my company 401(k) plan?
Vestwell is designed to support small businesses and trusted by financial professionals. We partner with financial advisors all over the country, power state government retirement programs, and partner with leading financial institutions that trust us with their retirement offering.
The same 401(k) provider that powers major establishments is available to you as a small business. With Vestwell, you get the best of both worlds: affordable price and top-tier quality.
Do I need to hire a financial advisor to be able to offer a 401(k) plan?
You don’t need to. However, a trusted advisor can help you find the savings program that’s best for your employees. The role of the advisor is becoming increasingly important - especially for small businesses. In fact, the number of savings plans associated with a financial advisor jumped from 68% of all plans in 2008 to 93% today. You can connect with one of our plan experts to discuss your business needs. If you’d like to find an advisor, we can help with that, too.
I heard there may be tax benefits. What do those look like?
Your small business may be eligible to receive up to $16,500 in tax credits over the first three years to offset the expenses needed to set up, administer, and educate employees about the plan.
