For a small business or a sole proprietor, a Simple Employee Pension (SEP) plan may be an attractive retirement solution because it offers: 

Easy startup
Low administrative costs
Flexible contribution terms
A potential three-year $500 tax credit for setting up the plan
Earnings grow tax-deferred
Under a SEP, employers contribute to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) established for employees.

Smaller companies, partnerships and sole proprietors can establish plans to help their employees save for retirement. Individual Retirement Account-based plans are designed to be easy to create and maintain, and can be less expensive than other retirement plans.

What is a buy/sell agreement?
The death of a small business owner, like you, may lead to internal turmoil, customer erosion and disruption in revenue flow. A buy/sell agreement funded with Nationwide® life insurance can help prevent these problems from arising, potentially damaging your business.

If you are over age 59½, in good health (or have a spouse who is in good health) and have ample retirement income and emergency funds, you can use wealth transfer strategy to reduce or even eliminate your remaining assets from the taxable estate at death – and potentially leave a greater amount to your beneficiaries.

You’ve planned, saved, worked and invested, but you’re still not sure you’ll have enough money for the retirement you’ve envisioned. So what do you do? You may just find the answer you’re looking for with life insurance. With an insurance-based retirement plan (IBRP) from Nationwide®, you may be able to protect your family’s future through a death benefit while you save for retirement.

When you spend years focusing on your business and your employees, it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself.

Have you maxed out contributions to your qualified plans? If you have, deferring income through an insurance-based retirement plan (IBRP) may offer you and your employees a tax advantage. What is an IBRP, you ask? It’s a variable universal life insurance policy that can supplement your retirement benefits and provides death benefits to your survivors.
