How does a Solo 401(k) work?

Broad’s Checkbook Solo 401(k) provides self-employed individuals with a robust investment account. Account holders can not only invest in almost any asset, but they can do so on their own terms. By using a dedicated checkbook, investors control both the timing and the cost of any transaction.

A Checkbook Solo 401(k) starts with a specialized Trust account. Broad will establish this Trust for your retirement account, and then you can use it to open a checking account at the bank of your choice. That’s it! Now you can use your Solo 401(k) checkbook to invest in any asset. Identify what you would like to purchase, write a check or send a wire, and the asset automatically becomes part of your Solo 401(k).

How to Set Up a Checkbook Solo 401(k)

Plan Set Up

We create a customized IRS-approved Solo 401(K) Plan for you.

Trust Set Up

The plan that we create contains a Trust, which appoints you as the sole Trustee of your Solo 401(K) Plan, empowering you to make all investment decisions.

Checking Account

You will open a checking account, in the name of the Trust, at any bank of your choice. This checking account will serve as the self-directed investing platform for placing all investments or loans for your Solo 401(K) Plan.

Rollover/Funding

You will fund your Solo 401(K) by transferring funds from one or more of your existing retirement accounts or plans into your Solo 401(K)’s new checking account, or by making an initial contribution.

Investing

You can begin investing your retirement funds directly into all investment classes (traditional and non-traditional) - by simply writing a check or sending a wire.

Solo 401(k) - FAQs

How long does it take to set up a Solo 401(k)?

Most Solo 401(k) accounts can be set up in less than a week.

What kind of fees are involved?

There is one low flat annual maintenance fee which covers documentation updates and administrative support. However, unlike most self-directed retirement accounts, the Solo 401(k) has no transaction fees. This is because the account holder performs all the transactions themselves with the dedicated checkbook.
