We are all challenged to recruit and keep quality employees. This can be just one more tool in your toolbox! BIA-RRV partners with Investment Consulting Services to bring our 401(k)PEP Plan to all members. This member benefit will reduce work and maximize your fiduciary protection as an employer.
Even if you already sponsor a retirement plan, check this option out. Our PEP can help you stay focused on your business by taking on administrative and fiduciary responsibilities.
