Only 28% of Businesses Offer a Retirement Plan

Does Your Dental Practice Offer a 401k?

New research from Capital Group reveals that only 28% of businesses with less than 10 employees offer retirement plans and only 51% of businesses with 10-24 employees offer them. 1 Capital Group found that many business owners may not be offering a plan due to misperceptions around cost and company size requirements.

“Offering a retirement plan to one’s employees can be a critical asset for a business owner who wants to retain and attract new talent, but concerns about cost and a lack of sufficient guidance are holding many of them back,” said Renee Grimm, Senior Vice President, Retirement Plans, Capital Group. “With the passing of the SECURE 2.0 2 Act earlier this year, now may be a great time for small business owners to set up a retirement plan. A financial advisor can guide business owners on how to maximize the full benefits of offering a plan, including important tax credits for themselves.”

As noted in the 2023 DentalPost Dental Salary report , 74% of dentists, 68% of RDHs and 72% of DAs stated that benefits were very important to extremely to them. With retirement benefits being the #1 or #2 benefit requested. If you do not have a retirement plan, 2023 is the year to do it.
