My problem which I can rework fairly easily, is that like most S-Corp small businesses my W-2 income is not a huge portion of my actual income.


When you say “not a huge portion,” be careful. SCorps are coming under pressure for too much owner draws as a percentage of income. It’s not a problem until it is.

As far as 401k, probably not worth it for only 3 employees. May want to stick with SEP and be generous, or consider SIMPLE IRA.

Yeah I'm conservative with my S-corp. I've heard plenty of stories of people paying themselves $20k a year or whatever and $200k+ in distributions. I could reasonable hire someone for what I pay myself, but still none of my employees make over $70k so offering any sort of retirement plan I won't be able to do a damn thing with employer contributions anymore?

Everything on the web is Small business plans for individual owners, almost nothing for small businesses with 5-20 employees like a trades company, retail shop, restaurant, etc. where the owner makes considerably more than any employees.
