Leveraged Retirement Plans






The challenges that successful business owners face with traditional retirement plan vehicles such as 401ks, IRAs, Defined Benefit Pension Plans, etc. are very consistent:

  • Contribution limits – $18k per year base 401k limit, etc prevents ability to save enough to create an adequate retirement nest-egg.


  • Age restrictions – ERISA rules tend to prevent access to the assets pre-age 59.5 and force fully taxable withdrawals by the year you turn age 70.5.


  • Pre-tax contributions provide a tax deduction on the front end, but also create a tax bomb in retirement, with every dollar accumulated being taxable as ordinary income.


  • Market Risk – Many business owners, especially those within 10 years of retirement, prefer avoiding unnecessary market risks.


Our leveraged retirement plans eliminate these issues by avoiding ERISA regulations altogether.

  • Contribution limits – None.


  • Age restrictions – None.


  • Post-tax contributions via a scalable interest-only corporate loan, which can create a tax deduction for your business. Both the accumulation and withdrawal phases can be tax-free.


  • Market Risk – Our LRP structure is specifically designed to avoid risk of market losses. Guaranteed.


401k vs LRP Case Study

401k Leveraged Retirement Plan
Annual Contribution $18,000 $18,000
Contributions to LRP (via commercial loan) N/A $400,000
20 Year Value at 7.1% annual growth $771,605 $1,038,771
Taxation at 35% $270,062 N/A
Total 20 Year Value $501,543 $1,038,771
Annual After-Tax Income Years 21-50 $35,108 $90,942

Using the same net dollars as a standard 401k contribution, you’re able to use commercial loan dollars to leverage a retirement plan on steroids.
