Automated Defined Benefit Plans for Entrepreneurs

• Immediate tax deduction
• Tax-deferred growth on assets
• Retirement security
• Employee incentives

• Much higher contribution levels for individuals approaching retirement

AutomatedPensions.com (APC) capitalizes on the power of the internet and the latest technologies to bring the tremendous tax-saving potential of Defined Benefit plans to entrepreneurs.  Small-business owners who are planning for retirement can learn about Defined Benefit plans, calculate the appropriate level of contributions, and set up the actual plan for their business.

For many, this entire process can be completed online.  More complex situations may require the consulting expertise of our actuaries at Friberg Retirement Plan Consultants (see information to the right).  In either case, we provide professional services on an objective basis, independent of your plan's funding arrangement, to assist you in meeting your specific business, as well as personal, financial goals.

A defined benefit plan may be an option to consider when reviewing retirement plans....  Employers can generally contribute (and, therefore, deduct) more than to other types of plans.
