Plan Design Services Page Plan Design & Installation

APA first evaluates clients goals, philosophy and other substantive elements of the business. A plan is then crafted to specifically meet client objectives with cost-effective benefits. If needed, APA can help design individually tailored plans in conjunction with the client's counsel.

APA sponsors Standardized Prototype plans which allow for cost efficient design without IRS users fees. Also, APA sponsors Nonstandardized Prototype Plans and Volume Submitter Plans which may include reduced IRS user fees.

APA's implementation services include:

  • A step-by-step explanation of you plan and coordination of the trust agreement and other documents with your attorney and accountant.
  • Preparation of the request for an IRS letter of determination, if necessary
  • Preparing Summary Plan Descriptions for plan participants and the Department of Labor
  • Assisting the client in choosing the appropriate provider of a platform of funds for a daily valued plan, or a balance forward plan.
