Businesses Can Save Up to $750 and Support Employees in Saving for Retirement

SEATTLE - May 2, 2016 - ShareBuilder 401k, a low-cost, all-ETF 401(k) plan provider, will waive set-up costs for all new 401(k) plans established between now and May 15, 2016 - helping small businesses kick-start retirement planning, benefit from tax credits and deductions, and provide their employees an important benefit. Bysigning up onlinethrough May 15, businesses can save $150-$750 and help get themselves and their employees on the path to long-term retirement planning and savings.

401(k) plans can help small business owners build a retirement nest egg, reduce personal and business taxes and recruit and incentivize employees. Despite the valuable benefits, Capital One's latestSpark Business Barometer[1]found only 13 percent of small businesses currently offer a retirement plan - down 5 percentage points from a year ago. Only seven percent of businesses with five or fewer employees are offering a retirement plan, compared to 30 percent of those employing 20 to 49 people. 'Our research shows many small business owners believe they're too small to have a plan, or that starting and maintaining a 401(k) plan would be very costly,' said Stuart Robertson, president of ShareBuilder 401k. 'We're focused on helping small business owners understand how straightforward, accessible and affordable a 401(k) plan can be. Any business of any size - including owner-only - can establish a plan and they aren't required to make matching contributions.'

The benefits of offering a 401(k) plan include:

· Save for retirement while lowering personal taxes- 401(k) plans allow owners and employees to maximize their tax-deferred contributions, lowering their annual personal tax burden. Owners and employees can invest up to the $18,000 2016 maximum or $24,000 if they are 50 or older. · Lower business taxes- If a company offers matching contributions or profit sharing, these costs are tax-deductible as are administrative expenses. · Access tax credits- Businesses that start a plan and have fewer than 100 employees may qualify for tax credits of up to $500 per year for the first three years of the plan to offset set-up and administrative costs. (This credit is not available for Individual 401(k) plans). · Incentivize employees, increase the likelihood of retaining the best workers and attract top talent- Offering an employer-sponsored 401(k) plan can be an effective way to help attract and retain the best talent. In fact, Capital One Investing's Financial Freedom survey found four in five (83 percent) Americans think companies of all sizes should be required to offer their employees retirement savings plans.

To be eligible for the free setup of a ShareBuilder 401k plan, business owners or plan fiduciaries must purchase an Individual, Safe Harbor, Traditional or an Advanced Profit Sharing 401(k) plan throughwww.ShareBuilder401k.comby May 15, 2016.

Since 2005, ShareBuilder 401k has made all of its pricing readily available on its website, and the company began advocating for an industry benchmark of less than one percent for 'all-in' employee-paid fees in 2007. ShareBuilder 401k is not a fund provider and takes an unbiased approach in the evaluation and selection of funds with a focus on low-expense, index based investments from the leading ETF providers such as Vanguard, iShares, SPDR and PowerShares to create a powerful line-up from which participants can choose, including five model portfolios. Capital One Advisors (ShareBuilder 401k's investment manager) also serves as the investment manager role (ERISA 3(38) fiduciary) for employers, which helps reduce employer liability as a fiduciary and saves employers the time of regularly reviewing investment options that are made available to employees.
