Success May Be Defined in a Variety of Ways

• Participant readiness
  • Your employees understand the plan and how to use it (and they actually do use it!)
  • Participants reach retirement with as much saved away as can reasonably be expected

• Tax benefits
• You and/or your business benefit from incentives
• Contributions to employees and benefit costs get easier

• Targeted contributions
• Employer contributions go where you want
• Shared by all, or directed toward those employees who add the most value (including owners and directors)

• Ease of use
• You know what's coming and avoid unpleasant surprises (like failed tests)

• Any combination of the above
• You don't necessarily have to pick one -- they may work together nicely
