Want to keep more of what you earn and build long-term security for yourself and your team?
Retirement planning may sound overwhelming — but with the right strategy, it can reduce your taxes, attract better employees, and set you up for the future.
In this episode, I talk with Matt Ruttenberg, co-owner and Director of Business Development at Life, Inc. Retirement Services. Matt helps businesses, including bars and restaurants, figure out how to set up retirement plans that actually work for them.
In today’s episode:
- Why IRAs aren’t always the best choice for bar owners
- What makes a 401(k) more flexible — and how it can save you money
- The tax credits that are available right now (they can be big!)
- How you can set rules around who qualifies — so you’re not giving money to short-term staff
- What to expect when you set one up (it doesn’t take as long as you think)
Listen now and take the guesswork out of retirement planning for good.
