ROBS Plan
Start your business debt-free, without paying taxes or early withdrawal penalties, using your retirement savings.
How to fund a new business using retirement accounts.
The most-commonly used source for business startup capital is personal savings, and for most, the biggest source of personal savings is retirement funds like 401(k), 403(b), 457(b) or IRA accounts. But did you know, you can fund your business using your retirement account, without paying any interest or incurring debt to a lender? It’s called a ROBS plan, or Rollover for Business Startup.
Accelefund created the Pension Transfer Trust Plan in 2004, an Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-approved retirement plan which functions as a ROBS plan, allowing you to invest your retirement funds in the stock of your new business. The Pension Transfer Trust Plan has received favorable letters of determination from the IRS multiple times indicating that the plan document satisfies applicable tax-qualification requirements. Accelefund can also work with you to set up a single-employer plan if you choose not to co-sponsor the Pension Transfer Trust Plan.
Once your rollover is complete and your business is funded from your retirement account, your company can use these funds for almost any business purpose, including buying property and equipment, paying salaries or rent and buying a business or franchise.

Mickey, I want to take a moment to personally thank you for all you have done for us.
I’m sure that for you it might be business as usual, but for us this whole process has allowed us to do more than we ever thought we could. We’ve met a number of skeptics along the way… but in the end it was a key factor in allowing us to make such a bold move (that and faith perhaps). So again, thank you so much for the consul along the way and the assistance in getting us here. As always, we will certainly give a positive endorsement of our experience with Accelefund.
