Freedom Benenfits Association Announced Unbundled Pricing of Low Cost Employee Benefit Plans

May 2, 2004--Freedom Benefits Association announces unbundled pricing of its small business employee benefit plan service that makes support more affordable to business owners, accountants and financial advisers. The new unbundled pricing makes it easy to fully explore all benefit plan options at minimal cost without committing to an entire benefit plan package.

The new pricing is a flat $200 for benefit plan design support that includes the planning discussions and initial plan setup. Optional ongoing support after the plan is established is $150 per quarter for companies up to 25 employees.

Freedom Benefits is one of the few services offering independent advisory service to clients in all 50 states. The company has been committed to the concept of low cost benefit plans that do not include built-in fees or commissions since its inception in 1997. Although service is available directly to business owners, services are provided under the direction of the company’s accountant or benefit plan broker.

The principal adviser at Freedom Benefits Association is Tony Novak, MBA, MT, a nationally known writer and adviser. “Many advisers just need help with a few specific technical questions to help make the right decision about selection of benefit plan. They know that I can provide fast accurate information they need along with additional ideas and options that really adds value to the overall service.” Now Novak offers this planning service for a flat $200 payable by either the accountant or the client. Novak says that he feels comfortable addressing most tax and benefit plan questions related to small businesses but that every client situation presents a new challenge. He has over 20 years experience drafting and administering small business benefit plans.

Freedom Benefits handles most types of small business retirement plans, health plans and cafeteria benefit plans. The most popular benefit plan is the Health Reimbursement Arrangment (HRA) because of its unique ability to cut employee health insurance costs.
