Retirement Plans for Small Business

Did you know that a company 401K or other company-sponsored retirement plan has the double benefit of saving your company money while making your employees happy?  Even small firms like to reward employees, but in today’s economy, expensive benefits are cost prohibitive.  Wilson David Investment Advisors can help you choose and start the right retirement plan options for your business.  Many types of plans are available; we’ll spend some time with you listening to your goals and needs, then we will work with you to choose and implement just the right plan.  We’re an independent firm, so we have many more product offerings than traditional advisors.
