You’re running your dream business, and have some truly talented people on board.

But as the months progress, you hear employees clamor for it more and more: a 401(k) plan in their benefits package.

As it turns out, a 401(k) is in the top five on a list of company benefits that employees expect the most, next to other basics like health insurance and paid time off.

Unlike some other retirement accounts, a 401(k) is employer-sponsored. Employees deposit income pre-taxes into their 401(k) accounts and withdraw them later at a taxed rate.

Because pre-tax savings are part of a 401(k), it’s an advantage many employees would like — and some expect — when they’re looking at a competitive benefits package.

If you worry offering a quality 401(k) plan is out of your reach, reading up on the basics might help you weigh your decision.

That’s why we made this eBook. Here’s what you’ll find inside:
