Finance Your New Business During the Pandemic

Wednesday, 25 August 2021 by drdacpaadmin

BORSA, finance your new business during the pandemic

How can you make BORSA work for you? Now may be a great time to explore ROBS, or the Rollover Business Startup Solution and what it can do for you during the pandemic.

Key Points

  • Start a new business or franchise
  • Legally pay yourself a salary
  • Abide by IRS and ERISA guidelines

What is the BORSA Plan?

The BORSA (Business Owners Retirement Savings Account) is DRDA’s, LLC Solution otherwise known as ROBS (Rollover Business Startup Solution), an IRS and ERISA approved structure that allows investors to use their retirement funds for a new business or franchise that they will be personally involved in. It is the primary way a retirement plan holder can have personal involvement in a business utilizing their retirement funds, without triggering IRC prohibited transaction rules.

Setting up a BORSA Plan requires planning but can be accomplished in relatively few steps.

  • Set up a C Corporation – The process begins by establishing the new corporation, using the proper legal structure to support the establishment and operation of the company’s qualified retirement plan.
  • Rollover your funds – Transfer your funds from an old IRA or 401(k) plan into a new 401(k) plan that the stock of the start-up C corp. business sponsors or adopts.
  • Start earning a salary – You must be an employee of your new business and provide a legitimate service. Your compensation must come from your business.

How Do BORSA and Pandemic Relate?

While there’s a pandemic, millions are losing their jobs and joining the ranks of the unemployed. More than ever, many are trying to rely on themselves and not some corporate entity that must make difficult decisions to comply with federal and state mandates affecting individual earning, security, and livelihood. Using BORSA can be an ideal way to start the business of your dreams with money you already have.

BORSA can help you fund a new business or franchise with retirement funds, and that means you’re starting on your way to owning and fulfilling your goals. When COVID-19 hit, no one could have anticipated it would bring the unprecedented upheaval of everyday life that it has.

How Does BORSA Work?

The BORSA Plan allows an investor to create a C Corporation, and the C Corp’s profits are taxed separately from the owner as it is owned by shareholders. Next, funds are transferred from an old IRA or 401(k) plan. Then, as an employee providing a legitimate service, you are able to earn a salary at the business you’ve created.

There are very specific IRS and ERISA rules that have to be followed, and for this reason guidance is recommended. DRDA, LLC can help you get started. When it’s time for your new company’s stock to get valuated by the IRS, DRDA, LLC will help value the stock of the new or existing company.

BORSA Benefits

More than almost anything else, Americans are looking to make certain they can make it through the pandemic, civil unrest, and the whole of the current situations currently embroiling the nation. For those who have lost their jobs and have been unable to find replacement work, tapping into their retirement funds have been one source of income to help. But what happens when the funds have been depleted?

More than just taking funds out, though, BORSA can help you open a franchise or start a new business you can own yourself. Your money is helping you and your family first. The primary benefit of using the BORSA Plan is that you can employ it to use your retirement funds to invest in a business you will be personally involved in. You can do this without paying tax on the retirement funds you wish to use as a distribution.

Additionally, investing in yourself within your retirement portfolio is an excellent way to diversify. Your investments in traditional assets such as stocks and bonds, and alternative assets such as cryptocurrency, exist separately, and you can fund your own business as well. This may protect investment portfolios as a whole during times of unrest and market volatility,

During the COVID-19 and now the Delta Variant financial crisis, it’s important to know where your money is and what it’s doing. While investing in the market and traditional assets can bring you financial success, it’s very volatile at this time. Alternative assets like real estate can help diversify your portfolio. And using the BORSA Plan to fund your dreams can help you even more.

Using 401(k)/IRA Funds to Start or Buy a Business

Friday, 13 August 2021 by drdacpaadmin

Using Rollovers for Business Start-ups (ROBS) such as DRDA’s, LLC BORSA™ Plan

to finance a business isn’t new, but it is unfamiliar to many. As a result, there are a lot of myths swirling around about the use of ROBS structures that may be stopping would-be entrepreneurs from chasing their dreams.
BORSA Plans involve using money from an eligible retirement account to finance the purchase of a business or franchise. To summarize, a corporation is formed, and that corporation then sponsors a 401(k) plan. Funds are rolled from an existing retirement account into the new 401(k) without triggering a taxable distribution. This new 401(k) purchases (or invests in) shares of the corporation, which can then purchase a business or franchise.
In essence, a BORSA™ Plan allows you to invest in your own business where you have control rather than investing in the market where you have no control. Here’s the truth behind the most common ROBS myths:

  1. It’s not tax avoidance.
    Using a BORSA™ Plan isn’t a way to evade taxes by any means. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) was set up explicitly to encourage investment in small businesses – businesses that pay taxes.
  2. BORSA™ Plan is an investment, not a loan.
    With a BORSA™ Plan, you’re investing in your new business or franchise, not taking on debt. This means you won’t have to make monthly loan payments or incur interest.
  3. You can use a BORSA Plan to diversify your nest egg.
    You don’t have to take every penny from your existing retirement fund for a BORSA™ Plan to work. Many people only use a portion of their retirement assets, and this arrangement can be used in conjunction with a small business loan or other financing option. So, you can diversify your investments.
  4. Getting funded using a BORSA™ Plan can take as little as four weeks.
    Depending on the state in which you’re filing, and how fast you’re able to file the necessary paperwork, funding can take as little as a few weeks. Most are completed in less than 30 days.
  5. BORSA Plans are not the same as Self-directed IRAs.
    While it’s possible to finance a business with both self-directed IRAs and a BORSA™ Plan, there are some major differences between the two. If you use an SDIRA, the owner may not work for the business or take a salary. The investment amount is also potentially liable for the unrelated business income tax (UBIT), which can get very expensive. With the BORSA™ Plan, the 401(k) owner must work for the new business, and UBIT doesn’t apply.
  6. A BORSA™ Plan can be used to fund start-ups.
    A BORSA™ Plan is a great option to finance not only start-ups, but also purchases of existing businesses and franchises.
    To some, the BORSA process can appear to have complex rules and regulations. But if you have a qualified retirement plan with a balance that’s sufficient for your start-up needs and work with an experienced company to support its formation, it can be a great option to start or re-capitalize your business debt-free.
