Why ROBS Makes Sense for Entrepreneurs & Business Buyers

  • Use retirement savings instead of going into debt
  • Avoid high-interest loans or burdensome monthly repayments
  • Gain full control of business capital from day one — funds invested directly into your new C-corp
  • No credit-score requirement, no loan approval hassles

How IRA Financial’s ROBS Program Works

We form your C Corp and set up a 401(k) plan

IRA Financial handles the entire incorporation process and establishes a new 401(k) plan for your business.

You roll over your retirement funds tax free

Transfer funds from your existing retirement account into the new 401(k) without triggering taxes or penalties.

Your 401(k) invests in your business

The new 401(k) purchases stock in your C Corporation, providing you with working capital to fund your business—whether for equipment, payroll, marketing, or growth.

I've looked at all of the participants in this space and IRA Financial was the clear choice. They were the easiest to work with, answered all my questions and concerns prior to me taking the steps to open the account. The process is straight forward and there are no surprises. My investments in Real Estate have been largely successful. IRA Financial is professional, has great support, and put the customer in the driver's seat.

I have been a client of IRA Financial for several years and I really love them. I've worked with other companies, and they just were not as easy to work with. I appreciate being able to get somebody on the phone and getting help with taxes. Just everything has been so easy to work with. I have, and do, recommend them to anyone thinking about self-directed investing.

Paul S.

Before contacting IRA Financial Group, I conducted an extensive market research on Solo 401K providers. From the initial phone call, I was impressed with the professionalism, the wealth of information provided, the caliber of services. I commend the firm for the technically advanced and secured process they have in place for the transfer of documents and payments processing.
