The Business and Franchising Funding Plan: Using Retirement Funds as Business Capital

It's a different concept for most people. Money in IRAs and 401(k) plans is thought to be untouchable until retirement. It can be used before then.

TheBusiness and Franchising Funding Planprovides a simple process to invest retirement funds in a new or established business—without distributions, penalties and taxes. As a result, it gives anyone with a qualifying retirement plan a ready source of capital.

Unheard of, perhaps. Unusual, maybe. And undoubtedly nothing to wake up in a sweat about. The idea may raise eyebrows. Yet theBusiness and Franchising Funding Planis without question an effective means of employing retirement savings as business capital.

  • Purchasing a franchise or existing business.
  • Start-up expenses: purchasing property, equipment, etc.
  • Working capital: paying salaries, franchise fees, etc.
  • Business expansion: funding additional franchises, locations, etc.
  • Equity toward SBA or other loans.

Moreover, capital can be obtained from just about any type of retirement savings plan:

  • IRAs
  • 401(k) Plans
  • 403(b) Plans
  • SEPs
  • SIMPLE Plans
  • Annuity Plans
  • Profit Sharing Plans
  • Defined Benefit Plans
  • 457 Plans
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plans
  • Cash Balance Plans
  • Money Purchase Plans
  • Rollover Plans
  • ESOPs
