Defined Benefit and Cross-Tested Profit Sharing Plans
We offer advanced plan designs for employers who wish to make greater contributions or
allocate contributions in a specialized manner not generally available under traditional
profit sharing plans. Defined benefit plans frequently allow older plan participants the
ability to accumulate a large retirement asset over a short period of time. These plans
are ideal for sole proprietors or small business owners with a need for larger deductions
above the profit sharing plan limitations. Cross-tested profit sharing plans allow
employers to designate different levels of contributions for specific groups of
employees, and are best suited to situations where the business owners wish to
maximize contributions for certain participants. These plans may be used in combination
with other qualified plans and
in certain instances and may also be used with a 401(k) plan.
