Limited 3(16) Services

We Sign the 5500 and Distributions—You Stay Focused on Your Business.

Under ERISA, plan sponsors are responsible for many operational duties that can be time-consuming and easy to miss. Our Limited 3(16) Services relieve you of two of the most repetitive tasks:

  • Signing the Form 5500 as the Plan Administrator

  • Approving participant distribution requests (including requests from Terminated Participants, In-Service Withdrawals, Loans, and Hardships) on your behalf

We manage these responsibilities efficiently and in full coordination with your recordkeeper—ensuring accuracy, consistency, and timely execution.
