Growing Number of People Using Solo 401(k) Plan Loan To Pay Off Credit Card Debt, According To IRA Financial Group Survey
















Self-employed 401(k) Plan $ 50,000 loan feature allowing small business owners to fund their new business without seeking high interest rate loan options


New York, NY (PRWEB) March 24, 2015

IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of self-directed solo 401(k) plans for self-employed and small business owners with no full-time employees, announces the results of its internal survey which showed a large number of people looking to use the solo 401(k) plan loan feature as a means for paying off their credit card debt.

“Due to very high interest rates surrounding most credit card debt and the heavy financial burden it has on the individuals, more people are turning to the solo 401(k) plan loan feature as a way of paying off the credit card debt with a lower interest rate, “ stated Susan Glass, a tax specialist with the IRA Financial Group. “People are so excited when they lean that they can access up to $ 50,000 tax-free and penalty free from their 401(k) plan and use the solo 401(k) plan loan as a way of replace a high interest rate credit card loan with a low interest rate solo 401(k) plan loan, “ stated Ms. Glass. “The best part of the solo 401(k) plan loan is that you can get tax-free and penalty free access to your retirement funds and use them to pay off the credit card debt and at the same time pay your plan back, which in-turn increases the value of the loan, “ stated Ms. Glass.

Internal Revenue Code Section 72(p) allows a Solo 401K Plan participant to take a loan from his or her 401K Plan so as long as it is permitted pursuant to the business’s 401K Plan documents.

A solo 401k loan is permitted at any time using the accumulated balance of the solo 401k as collateral for the loan. A Solo 401(k) participant can borrow up to either $ 50,000 or 50% of their account value – whichever is less. This loan has to be repaid over an amortization schedule of 5 years or less with payment frequency no less than quarterly. The lowest interest rate that can be used is Prime as per the Wall Street Journal, which is currently 3.25%.

With IRA Financial Group’s Solo 401K plan loan feature, a self-employed individual or small business owner with no employees can borrow up to $ 50,000 tax-free and penalty free and use those funds to pay off student loan debt. There are no penalties or taxes due provided loan payments are paid on time. “The Solo 401(k) Plan loan has proved to be an appealing financing option to paying off high interest rate credit card debt and secure cheaper self- financing”, stated Ms. Glass.

IRA Financial Group’s Solo 401k Plan documents will allow a self-employed individual to use a loan from your Solo 401k for any purpose, including paying off debt, such as a mortgage, personal loan, or student debt. “In 2015, we have already helped hundreds of individuals use the Solo 401(k) Plan loan feature as a way to access at least $ 50,000 of retirement funds without tax or penalty to use for any purpose, including for use in paying off personal debt, such as credit card and student loans, “ stated Adam Bergman, a tax partner with the IRA Financial Group.

The IRA Financial Group was founded by a group of top law firm tax and ERISA lawyers who have worked at some of the largest law firms in the United States, such as White & Case LLP, Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, and Thelen LLP.

IRA Financial Group is the leading provider of Solo 401(k) Plan solutions. IRA Financial Group has helped thousands of clients take back control over their retirement funds while gaining the ability to invest in almost any type of investment, including real estate and private business investments without custodian consent.

Calas Group Welcomes Employees Home from Military Service in Afghanistan











Calas Group


Coral Gables, FL (PRWEB) December 07, 2014

They were all working for the Afghanistan Threat Finance Cell, Bagram AFB, AFG, a cell seeking to identify and disrupt financial networks related to terrorism, the Taliban, narcotics trafficking and corruption. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s website states, “Led by the Drug Enforcement Agency with Treasury serving as co-deputy, nearly 60 Afghan Threat Finance Cell (ATFC) personnel are embedded with military commands across Afghanistan to improve the targeting of the insurgents’ financial structure.”

The Calas Group’s team members deployed were: bookkeeper and manager of the Jacksonville office, Jason Corse – US Navy reservist and CPT Brian George – US Army reservist and Calas Group’s Managing Partner. In addition, Mr. Robert French – DIA Contractor, Calas Group’s tax attorney and future manager of their Dallas/Fort Worth office. The Dallas/Fort Worth office is scheduled to open late 2015/early 2016.

According to an United States Army War College manuscript entitled, “Emerging DoD Role in the Interagency Counter Threat Finance Mission (CTF)” by Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer E. Carter, United States Marine Corps, “Analyzing financial data is a key weapon in the targeting of terrorists and aids in the tracking, monitoring, exploitation and disruption of the ‘lone wolf’ terrorist or a network and its supporters. With the proper investigative and enforcement mechanisms in place, CTF serves a critical role in destabilizing terrorist organizations by exposing patterns and anomalies regarding income sources, operational expenses and funds transfers over time, eliminating their fiscal resources, and gathering actionable information for operational and intelligence purposes.”

With sixty years of combined experience, the Calas Group has been serving Coral Gables, Jacksonville and surrounding areas for eight highly successful years offering personal services, from estate planning to elder care, and business services, such as small business accounting, payroll and audits, as well as military and tax services, among others. “We are so proud of Jason, Brian and Robert. They are highly skilled and brought their financial expertise to Afghanistan, in service to our country,” said Mr. S. Michael Shlachtman, Senior Partner. “Our military was lucky to have them and we at the Calas Group, as well as our clients, are even luckier to have them back and are thrilled to welcome them home.”

Multi-National Oil Trading Group Goes With Aspect Enterprise Solutions For CTRM Commodities Trade And Risk Platform










(PRWEB) May 19, 2014

The three subsidiaries, Petro Singapore Trading PTE, PS Trading SA and PS Oil PTE, a group of petroleum products and petrochemicals trading companies, has chosen AspectCTRM SE (Standard Edition) from Aspect Enterprise Solutions as its backbone solution for trading and risk. In addition to mainstream trade, risk and operations management functionality the system will also be integrated with the group’s back-office accounting system.

AspectCTRM was first brought to the group’s attention by a team member who had used the solution with a previous firm. Soon it became obvious to senior staff that Aspect’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Cloud-delivered application offered the key tools needed for the global team’s growth.

“From a trading and risk perspective alone AspectCTRM does everything we want and more, and Aspect demonstrated that they were able to deploy and implement their system in a short time, compared with other vendors,” said the group’s CFO. “AspectCTRM is flexible and we were able to engineer an accounting interface with the GIT WinEUR general ledger system relatively quickly.”

Another crucial element in the trading group’s choice of AspectCTRM was the future addition of new functionality. For example, Aspect recently added enhanced functionality for managing product movement by railcar. This is one more step in the continual evolution of the product line according to Aspect’s EMEA director of sales Yags Savania.

“Our aim is to build in the functionality our individual customers need to run their businesses more efficiently, and so continuously improve and expand our systems,” he says. “We also want to leverage the success of more niche back-office and ledger solutions. They are a perfect complement to our own trade and risk management software and we have proven time and time again the ease with which it integrates with third-party systems.”

Petro Singapore PTE Trading, PS Trading SA and PS Oil PTE are involved in physical trading, financing, risk management, oil derivative trading, hedging, storage and transportation with a strong focus on the Caspian, Black and Mediterranean Sea regions.
