The key deadline is October 1st for most 2025 retirement plans. If you haven’t set up a retirement plan for your small business yet, now is the time to act. That’s where WealthRabbit comes in.

Retirement benefits in small businesses: A snapshot

Nearly two-thirds (66%) of small businesses do not offer retirement savings plans, with the smallest businesses (fewer than 10 employees) least likely to provide these benefits. Cost concerns and administrative challenges are the most significant barriers. This lack of retirement options significantly impacts employee retention — nearly half of employees report leaving a job due to the absence of retirement benefits. On the other hand, 94% of small businesses that offer 401(k) plans report improved recruitment and retention.

As legislative efforts simplify plan offerings, small businesses have a growing opportunity to attract and keep talented employees by providing retirement benefits.

Why choose WealthRabbit’s SIMPLE IRA over a 401(k)?

WealthRabbit Simple IRAs cost 80% less than most 401 (k) plans.

WealthRabbit’s SIMPLE IRA offers small businesses a streamlined, affordable alternative to traditional 401(k) plans. Unlike 401(k)s—which often come with high setup fees, ongoing administrative costs, and complex compliance requirements—WealthRabbit’s SIMPLE IRA is designed for:

  • Ease of use: Quick setup with minimal paperwork
  • Cost-effectiveness: Low fees and no annual IRS filings required
  • Generous contribution limits: Helping employees save meaningfully for retirement
  • Expert support: Dedicated guidance to help manage your plan effortlessly
  • Flexibility: Designed to attract and retain talent without the headache of complicated 401(k) administration

SIMPLE IRAs: A smart start for small business retirement benefits

For many small businesses, a SIMPLE IRA is a straightforward, compliant way to offer retirement benefits without the complexity of a traditional 401(k). With lower administrative requirements and employer-friendly contribution rules, it’s a practical entry point for supporting your team’s financial future.

WealthRabbit streamlines the entire process through automation and digital tools, eliminating manual work and ensuring compliance from the outset.
