June 3, 2020, Scottsdale, AZ – My Financial Coach (MFC) is excited to announce a unique benefits solutions offering in association with Milton Park Partners. MFC is now offering an all-inclusive Concierge Benefits Program for Self Employed Individuals.
Small businesses, independent contractors, and entrepreneurs of all forms are the lifeblood of the U.S. economy, employing 48.3% of all workers. (Source: US Census Bureau, Business Dynamics Statistics, 2014.) Despite employing nearly half of all working Americans, 34% of small business owners do not offer retirement savings plans, and even more alarmingly for businesses with fewer than 10 employees, only 28% offer access to them. (Source: Survey Information from SCORE a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a resource partner of the SBA.) While independent contractors may have the benefit of only having to choose a retirement plan that fits their own needs, they too face the same obstacles of administrative fees and paperwork.
Although retirement has become a commonplace benefit of larger employers, there are numerous group benefits that many small businesses and independent contractors miss out on either because of cost or administrative concerns. In fact, only around 50% of small businesses with under 10 employees were found to be offering health insurance. (Source: Kaiser Family Foundation, Survey of Employer Health Benefits.) For independent contractors and uninsured small business owners/employees, the Health Care Exchange can be a difficult and expensive market to navigate.
Furthermore, other group benefits such as vision, dental, life, and disability insurance are more-often-than-not offered as the exception rather than the rule. While some small business owners and independent contractors may be able to find some group coverage through professional organizations, oftentimes that coverage is still inadequate and no one near as cost-effective as true group pricing.
But what if things could be different?
My Financial Coach is known for providing its clients with a dedicated CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional who will create a comprehensive and unbiased financial plan. As part of their process, these Financial Coaches identify potential gaps in a client’s financial situation including using advanced technology to provide an analysis of existing individual and employer benefits. These gaps in planning offer potential opportunities unique to small businesses and independent contractors.
For example, those working for a large company today likely already have some group benefits, but if an employee wants to improve their benefits, they would likely need to shop in the private marketplace where individual solutions can become quite expensive.
However, for the self-employed individual, there are opportunities to have My Financial Coach identify those needs, and for Milton Park Partners to offer an employer or independent contractor Fortune 500 level company benefits at affordable rates. This collaboration lets entrepreneurs focus on their business, remain independent, but reap all of the benefits of the other half.
