Reducing work, saving time, seeing results

BLUE HAWK gives our Members the opportunity to join a retirement program designed to give you the benefits of offering a retirement plan without having to own all the responsibility—in other words, one that helps make your job easier.

Because your retirement plan shouldn’t be a challenge
In a group 401(k) program, many of the tasks that come with running a retirement plan—ones you’d typically handle on your own in a plan you may already offer employees—are gathered to be managed by a third party on behalf of the businesses that join:

  • Administrative duties
  • Operational tasks
  • Fiduciary responsibilities

And the advantage is clear. You get time back in your day and free up yourself and your employees to spend that time where it counts: focused on your business.

Join BLUE HAWK Retirement at our Wednesday Workshop in Orlando on April 20 for 4:30-5:40pm.  If you haven’t registered, email Teri Ditsch to get sign up.

Schedule 15 minutes with Andrew Thompson to explore what BLUE HAWK Group 401(k) program can do for your business.  And check out this video to learn more about the value of group 401(k) plans.
