New proposed legislation for employee retirement plans would affect your company’s fiduciary risk and administrative responsibilities. Workers whose employers don’t offer retirement benefits would automatically be enrolled into the program. Businesses that don’t comply could potentially incur state penalties.

Many state programs also require the employer to do their own plan administration – filing, reporting, adjusting contributions limits, and more. This can be burdensome to smaller businesses that don’t have the time or staff to do complex plan management.

You can participate in the SBAM Pooled Employer Retirement Plan and avoid all of this. Our program takes on the highest level of fiduciary liability and removes your responsibility and accountability for operational and investment oversight – and you save money with tax credits and no set up fees.

By supporting employee financial wellness, attracting top talent, and potentially enjoying tax advantages, you can create a win-win situation for both you and your employees.

Become a Certified Small Business Small businesses with fewer than 500 employees and annual gross revenues equal to or less than $25,000,000 (or a 3 year average of less than $20M) are eligible to be ‘certified small’ by the Small Business Association of Michigan. This certification can help set your business apart in the marketplace, add a layer of credibility to your name and/or brand, and potentially assist with procurement opportunities. Once Certified Small by SBAM you will receive a certificate and a logo for use on your organization website and in your email signature.
