Q:
Subject: BeneTrends - ESOP
Hi Kerry, What are your feelings on the ESOP program which allows use of IRA funds for business start ups? I am weighing the options of using a small business loan, home equity or tapping my IRA for approx 150K.... Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you
A:
I'm still as supportive of using one's own retirement account for a new business start-up as I was when I wrote my earlier article on this eight month ago:
There must be other companies providing this service; but BeneTrends is the only one I am currently aware of.
Good luck.
Kerry Kerstetter
