Understand ROBS Funding Before You Start a Business

ROBS funding may allow qualified entrepreneurs to use eligible retirement savings to start or buy a business without taking a taxable distribution or traditional loan. But it is not right for everyone, and the setup must be handled by qualified professionals. ROBS Advisory Group provides independent advisory guidance so you can understand the process, risks, provider options, and next steps before moving forward.

Rollovers as Business Startups (ROBS) Explained

A Rollover as Business Startup, commonly called ROBS, is a funding structure that may allow an entrepreneur to use eligible retirement funds to start or buy a business. In a typical ROBS arrangement, a new C corporation sponsors a qualified retirement plan, retirement funds are rolled into that plan, and the plan purchases stock in the corporation.

ROBS can be attractive because it may provide access to business capital without a traditional loan or early withdrawal penalty. However, it also places retirement savings at risk and requires proper setup, documentation, plan administration, tax reporting, and ongoing compliance.

ROBS Advisory Group does not set up ROBS plans or provide legal, tax, accounting, investment, or plan administration services. Our role is advisory. We help you understand how ROBS works, whether it may fit your goals, what risks to consider, and how to prepare before engaging licensed professionals or specialized third-party providers.
