"Guideline Has Been Great to Work With"
What do you like best about Guideline? As a small business owner, I wasn't sure if we could afford a 401k program for our employees, especially given the importance of matching. I am happy to report that we have grown along with our commitment to Guideline.

"Guideline: 401k's made easy"
What do you like best about Guideline? Before using Guideline, I'd never managed (or even held!) a 401k plan, so setting that up for our team seemed confusing at first - until I found Guideline! They make the entire process incredibly seamless, and offer great customer support. I didn't feel like I was alone in the process, and between Guideline's software and team, I was able to set our company up with a 401k offering.

"Low fees and easy to use!"
What do you like best about Guideline? The fees are very low for the company and employees for a 401k. It's very easy to select investments as an employee with the guided questionnaire during onboarding. All of the compliance is handled as part of the plan.

"Great Pension System with fantastic customer service"
What do you like best about Guideline? The customer service team has been great. Being Canadian and not the most knowledgeable of US pension I know I can trust that the time will guide our company and make sure we are compliant
