Have Your Clients Run Their Own 401k Plans Using 401k Easy Online with You as the Designated Investment Advisor

With 401k Easy Online you have the option of using our customized 401k systems to run your clients' 401k plans from your offices or having each client run its own 401k plan from its own office -- with you collecting any asset-based investment fees either way.

Your clients can receive a discount on purchasing 401k Easy Online, too, if you register with us as an SEC-Registered Investment Advisor (see below) and/or as a Referral Partner (see our Referral Partner page). SEC-Registered Investment Advisors receive a 5% discount on 401k Easy Online purchases they make (a savings they can pass onto their clients in reduced 401k administration fees, for instance); Referral Partners earn $100 per system purchased by their clients, or they can choose to qualify each client to receive a $100 rebate on its purchase of 401k Easy Online.

-- You must be registered with us as an SEC-Registered Business Alliance Partner (go to SEC Partner registration) and/or Referral Partner (go to Referral Partner registration) before the purchase is made for you (or your clients) to be eligible for the applicable discounts and rebates.

-- Joining any of the 401k Easy Online Business Alliance Programs is absolutely FREE and puts you under no obligation to refer any client to us.

-- We never ask you to divulge any client information beyond that specific to an order actually being placed, and we never market related -- or unrelated -- products to your clients.
