10 What is the Small Business Pension Program?

11 Not for Public Use 11 What is the Small Business Pension Program?  A simplified and streamlined turn-key defined benefit plan program  Designed for businesses of one to five employees  Created specifically to take advantage of recent changes in the tax code  May allow a small business owner to make some of the highest tax-deductible retirement contributions allowed by law

12 Not for Public Use 12 How Much Can Be Contributed to a Small Business Pension Program?  Generally more than the contribution limit for defined contribution plans (i.e. $42,000 in 2005) when the business owner is older  Typical annual contributions to a Small Business Pension Program are in the $100,000 to $200,000 range

13 Not for Public Use 13 How Do Defined Benefit Plans Work?  The benefit at retirement is equivalent for each employee, based on a percentage of compensation  Age and income affect how much can be contributed to the plan  By contrast, in most defined contribution plans, only income affects the contribution, not age  Each client’s contribution is different based on age and income Age 65Age 55 Age 25 10 years 40 years

14 Not for Public Use 14 How are Contributions Determined?  Plan can fund for a maximum retirement benefit of 100% of compensation up to $170,000 per year (2005 limit)  Actuary calculates total assets needed to provide retirement benefit (maximum of $2,060,835 at age 62)  Actuary then calculates annual contribution needed to provide those assets at retirement  Because older employees are closer to retirement, contributions on behalf of those employees must be greater to provide for the retirement benefit

15 Not for Public Use 15 How Are Assets Invested?  All investments are held in a UBS branch account  Plan assets are pooled for all participants  Investments are directed by plan’s trustee – usually the business owner  Employer bears all investment risk and fiduciary responsibility  Flexible array of stock, bonds, mutual funds, managed account programs, etc.  Since the program’s actuary assume an investment return of 5.5% per year, investments should be selected to target this rate of return  Returns exceeding 5.5% will decrease required contributions in future years  Returns less than 5.5% will increase required contributions in future years

16 How Can Your Clients Benefit?

17 Not for Public Use 17 What are the Benefits to the Client?  Contributions and investment earnings are tax-deferred  The annual tax savings in a Small Business Pension Program are typically in the $40,000 to $80,000 range  Client can roll over assets into an IRA upon retirement or plan termination – otherwise they are taxable as ordinary income when distributed

18 Client Suitability

19 Not for Public Use 19 What Type of Business Owner Might Be Interested?  Doctors  Dentists  Lawyers  Consultants  Entrepreneurs  Real estate professionals  Self employed spouses of high-income earners  Board members  CPAs

20 Not for Public Use 20 Who is Eligible?  Sole-proprietors  Corporations  S-corps  Partnerships  Business types with issues:  Controlled groups  Owner paid both W-2 income and divided distributions Call EMJAY at (866) 269-2573 for help in determining whether a business is eligible

21 Not for Public Use 21 For Whom is this Suitable?  Business owners who are 45 years old or older  Have five or fewer employees  Earn $100,000 or more per year  Willing to make an annual commitment to the plan

22 Not for Public Use 22 Considerations How Does The Required Commitment Work?  IRS expects plan to be permanent  Client has to contribute for a fixed number of years – generally at least three to five years  Earlier terminations are subject to IRS rules and penalties on plan excesses and shortfalls and potential disqualification by the IRS  Client needs good annual cash flow and stable income stream

23 Not for Public Use 23 What if a Client Does Not Want to Make the Commitment?  Consider a SEP IRA, Profit Sharing or Owner-Only 401(k)  No required contribution  Lower contribution limit ($42,000 plus possible $4,000 catch-up for ages 50+ in 2005)  Same investment flexibility  EMJAY also offers plan administration services for Owner-Only 401(k) plans
