What is a Solo 401(k)?

A Solo 401(k), also known as an Individual 401(k), is a retirement savings plan designed specifically for self-employed individuals and small business owners with no full-time employees other than themselves, their spouse, or other business owners. This plan allows for both employer and employee contributions, enabling higher annual contribution limits compared to other retirement plans.

A Solo 401(k) can also offer a Roth option, loan provisions, and the ability to invest in a wide range of assets, including stocks, real estate, and precious metals, through the self-directed structure. It’s a powerful tool for maximizing retirement savings while maintaining flexibility and control.
