Using a ROBS to Fund Your New Business

There’s plenty of time to open your new business or franchise in 2019 and funding is a primary hurdle you’ll need to clear first. If you can answer, “Yes!” to any of the below questions, a ROBS (Rollover as Business Startup) should definitely be a funding option you consider:

  • Do you have $50,000 or more in pre-tax retirement funds (such as a 401(k), IRA, Keoghs, Thrift Savings Plan, etc.)? Are these retirement funds with a prior employer?
  • Does your lender require a certain amount of non-borrowed equity injection to accompany your business loan – such as an SBA 7(a) loan?
  • Do you need access to working capital to cover expenses like salaries, inventory and equipment for the first few months or even first year of business?
  • Do you want to start your business with increased equity and less debt?
  • Do you need fast funding?

ROBS funding plans – often called Self-Directed 401(k)s – allow business owners to invest in their businesses without taxable penalties in addition to taking advantage of multiple tax benefits as well.
