In today's sizzling job market, attracting and retaining valuable employees is no longer a matter of simply providing a competitive salary. Job seekers are increasingly asking about additional benefits, with a retirement plan often standing near the top of their agenda.

Yet while 80% of large corporations offer some type of retirement plan, only 1 in 4 small companies can say the same. The explanation? Many small companies believe they lack the infrastructure and financial resources needed to offer such a plan.

Just because your company may not be able to afford the administrative and record keeping costs associated with a 401(k) plan, it doesn't mean that you are without options. Your business may in fact be eligible for a cost-effective retirement alternative called the SIMPLE-IRA.

This buying guide is designed to help you choose a SIMPLE-IRA for your company. You can choose to read this guide from beginning to end, or jump directly to a section of interest by clicking on the links above.
