Don’t Let ROBS Steal Your Retirement
Megan Slatter, Wealth Advisor at Crewe Advisors, speaks to Chris Carosa at Forbes on Rollovers as Business Startups (“ROBS”) and how they can be a powerful solution for someone with a great business idea, but lacks access to start-up capital. “It allows them to use retirement assets saved in a 401(k) or IRA towards their business and avoid paying income taxes or the early 10% withdrawal penalty. Since you are not repaying the money back to your retirement plan, it is not considered a loan,” says Slatter.
