peppermint

Lower employer costs

Combining multiple employers lets you leverage group buying power which means lower fees and less paperwork and maintenance

Less risk

Peppermint acts as your fiduciary which limits your liability

Easy launch

Peppermint reduces the employer’s work. We manage vendors, work with investment managers, and find other companies to expand the pool

No filings, forms, audits, or notifications

Peppermint is responsible for signing & filing required forms including the 5500 and 8555-SSA, any audits, and all employee notifications

Traditional 401k

Higher costs and admin

Administrative costs are typically higher, and the employer is responsible for more administrative tasks

More risk

The employer is the plan fiduciary and therefore assumes all risk

More tasks

The employer is responsible for plan set up, ongoing plan maintenance, investment selection, and working directly with vendors

Filings, forms, audits, and notifications

Employers are responsible for signing and filing all forms, initiating and funding applicable audits, and notifying employees

Tax Credits

Setting up a PEP may give you up to $15,000+ in tax credits over 3 years. Consult your tax advisor to determine credits*
