Big opportunities in small retirement plan market

Think that small is insignificant? Consider the fact that nearly 3 million American small businesses are poised to add a retirement plan over the next year, and you have a major business opportunity ahead. Learn how to grow your practice by catering to those companies' emerging needs.

When it comes to small retirement plans, the opportunity for financial professionals is significant. Today, nearly three-quarters of small businesses currently do not offer a retirement plan. But that’s predicted to change—and quickly.

In fact, of the 28 million small businesses in the United States, 10 percent—or 2.8 million—plan to add a retirement plan within the next 12 months alone. And more than 48,000 small retirement plans (>$5 million in assets) are expected to change service providers. This was 90 percent of the total estimated takeover sales activity and a nearly 26 percent increase from the previous year.
