CalSavers Alternative

What is FinDec Basic?

FinDec Basic is an ideal solution for small businesses (up to 50 eligible employees) seeking a low cost 401(k) benefit plan that is efficient and transparent. FinDec Basic is a plan that allows unrelated small businesses to come together under one plan, creating economies of scale for a robust yet cost effective retirement plan solution.

Why Not CalSavers?

Contributions: with CalSavers, employers cannot contribute to an employee’s retirement fund. Many companies view retirement offerings as a benefit, and they will match a percentage of what employees contribute. But you can’t do that with CalSavers.
