Group Plans That Work to Your Advantage

You work hard to grow your business. Fortunately, you’re not alone. Our role is to activate different levers at every stage of your company’s development to support your growth, help your assets grow, and protect them effectively.

The group savings plan is one of the most effective tools for preparing for retirement. These registered plans, such as group RRSPs and pension plans, allow for regular long-term contributions and benefit from the strategy of dollar-cost averaging. Beyond the tax advantages of a personal RRSP, here are the specific benefits of a group retirement savings plan:

Immediate Tax Advantages

Enjoy tax deductions through automatic payroll deductions.

Employer Contributions

Your employer can add contributions, increasing your savings with no extra effort.

Professional Investment Management

Benefit from the expertise of authorized administrators who optimize your investments.

Competitive Fees and Rates

Interest rates and management fees are negotiated based on the collective purchasing power of your group plan, often more competitive than individual options.

Access to Experts to Meet Your Needs

At J. Gérard Fortin & Associates, we provide you with privileged access to complementary professional expertise. This means you benefit from a single point of contact to quickly reach all the essential resources necessary for your success.

Group plans also offer valuable protection against creditors. Indeed, assets held within a group plan are generally shielded from legal actions seeking to recover personal debts. This protection is particularly advantageous for business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone concerned about their civil liability.

Moreover, the law now requires companies with five or more employees aged 18 or older, with at least one year of continuous service, to offer a group RRSP and automatically enroll their employees.

Comprehensive Network of Professionals

Lawyers, accountants, mortgage brokers, and notaries are available to support you.

Protection Against Creditors

Secure your assets held within the group plan from legal claims related to your debts.

Compliance with Legal Obligations

Assistance in setting up a group RRSP that complies with regulatory requirements.

In today’s constantly evolving business environment, it is essential to have comprehensive support that goes well beyond traditional solutions. At J. Gérard Fortin & Associates, we provide a range of included services designed to protect your business, manage your assets efficiently, and help you plan for a secure future. Our personalized approach delivers tangible benefits tailored to your specific needs, while ensuring the well-being of your employees.

Financial Protection and Business Continuity

We understand that the incapacity of a key leader or partner can have significant impacts on your company’s stability. That’s why we help you generate liquidity in unexpected situations, ensuring operational continuity and financial security for your organization.

Tax Optimization and Income Management

Maximizing your returns while minimizing taxes is a critical challenge. We assist you in intelligently structuring the allocation of your profits balancing reinvestment, salaries, and dividends to reduce your tax burden and grow your assets effectively.

Strategic Succession Planning

Preparing for the future means anticipating the transition of your business. We help you clearly define your personal plans post-transfer and develop a tailored succession plan that ensures the long-term sustainability and success of your organization.

Flexible Employee Benefits Solutions

Beyond traditional group insurance plans which can be rigid and costly we offer an innovative approach with the Health TFSA. This solution gives your employees greater flexibility to finance paramedical care, eyewear, or dental expenses, while maintaining your organization’s financial balance.
