401(K) for Business

401(k) plans built for your business

A stronger retirement plan can help your team and your business. Our advisors help sponsors evaluate design, fees, fiduciary support, payroll integration, and employee education.

Make the company retirement plan easier to run and easier to value

Savvy helps business owners and HR teams think through the plan sponsor, employee, and operational sides of a 401(k).

Plan design aligned to business goals

Safe harbor, Roth features, profit sharing, auto-enrollment, eligibility, and matching strategies can all shape the plan.

Fiduciary support and investment oversight

A thoughtful process can help plan sponsors evaluate investment lineups, fees, service providers, and responsibilities.

Payroll and administration coordination

Savvy can help plan sponsors think through integrations and transition steps that may reduce manual work.

How 401(k) planning works

Savvy helps plan sponsors evaluate whether the current plan still fits the company and employees it is meant to serve.

Step 1

Review plan goals and current setup

Your advisor evaluates plan design, fees, investments, participation, payroll process, and service provider fit.

Step 2

Compare options and fiduciary support

The plan may consider provider changes, investment lineup updates, 3(38) or 3(16) support, and employee education needs.

Step 3

Support implementation and education

Your advisor can help coordinate transition steps and create a communication plan for employees.

What you get with a Savvy advisor

70%

More time focused on you

Most financial advisors aren’t legally required to act in your best interest. Savvy Advisors are.

Your advisor is a fiduciary

Many advisors are tied to product incentives, sales targets, or firm priorities. Your advisor is different. As an independent fiduciary, they are required to put your best interest first and give advice shaped around what is genuinely right for you.

Backed by institutional-grade intelligence

Behind your advisor sits an in-house investment team, a direct line to Savvy's Chief Investment Officer, and the best-in-class technology that makes it all run.
