For starters, offering a 401(k) plan helps businesses attract and retain the best talent. Knowing that a business offers a retirement plan is often a deciding factor for employees looking to join a particular organization. Furthermore, once an employee is offered a 401(k) plan, he or she is more likely to remain with the company due to the incentive associated with staying to receive the benefits of the plan.
Another advantage of offering a 401(k) plan is that it can provide a cost savings for small businesses. Due to their size, small businesses often have fewer resources available to offer retirement plans compared to larger companies. However, when a business does offer a 401(k), the costs associated with the plan can actually be lower than other types of retirement plans, such as a pension or individual retirement account (IRA).
