"Small Businesses, it’s easier than you think!"
What do you like best about Guideline? Working in corporate America for decades, 401k and retirement accounts were a given. However as a small business owner, there were things I assumed I was not big enough for. Guidelines made that so far from the truth.

"Great retirement plans for small companies"
What do you like best about Guideline? Guideline makes it very easy to set up a retirement plan according to your specifications and it is seemless once it is up and running. Very low maintenance on my part.

"Seamless experience in integrating 401k plan into my business."
What do you like best about Guideline? The relative ease of getting set up with something I had very little experience with. I didn't have to spend much time at all and Guideline took on most of the heavy lifting.

"Good Product, Awful Support"
What do you like best about Guideline? Regarding setup, the product is easy to use and looks like it was designed recently. The colors are pleasing and there's lots of good negative space. Other than that...

"Beware - false claims, hiddens fees, terrible support, incorrect IRS filings."
What do you like best about Guideline? Literally nothing. False promises and numerous mistakes. I also loved paying more than $10,000 to a CPA because Guideline could not perform the required IRS Audit.
