We set you up with a small, closely-held corporation to run your new business out of. This step sets the stage for a smoother and tax-free transaction that keeps ownership in your control.
Your retirement plan invests by purchasing stock in your new company — so the corporation must exist before any funds can move. Getting this structure right from day one is what makes the entire rollover work without triggering taxes or penalties.

COMMON QUESTIONS
About Step One
Why do I need a corporation to use my 401(k)?
Your retirement plan invests by purchasing stock in your new business — and it can only buy stock in a corporation. Setting up this small, closely-held corporation is the legal foundation that makes the entire tax-free transaction possible.
Will I own the business outright?
The structure keeps ownership in your control — your plan holds the stock on your behalf, and you run the business day to day.
Do I have to do any of the paperwork myself?
We provide all the documents. You will take the articles and EIN letter to the bank of your choice.
