When looking to hire employees sometimes it is the best benefits and pay that get the best employees. If you are a small business and cannot compete with the big corporations with benefits, you still have a chance to offer something worth while. Some small business advice could help you deal with getting the right employees.

The 412  plan, named after the section of the Internal Revenue Code that authorizes it, is a defined benefit plan. That means it will provide a fixed amount once you retire.

One of the major appeals of the plan is that it is funded exclusively by individual annuities or a combination of annuities and life-insurance contracts.

Because of the insurance component, a 412  can provide fixed, known monthly retirement benefits, life-insurance protection and, relative to other plans, large tax-deductible contributions (in excess of $300,000) that can build a substantial retirement fund in just a few years.
