Leverage your 401(k) funds… and set yourself free!

Make your retirement funds work for you now—without taxes, penalty or debt. Our self-directed 401(k) program, directINVEST, will provide the structure to begin leveraging your existing 401(k), IRA or other qualified pre-tax retirement savings to fund a franchise or other small business. Let our lending pros help you connect with your next opportunity.

If you have money in a 401(k), IRA, profit-sharing or pension plan, directINVEST will unlock those funds to capitalize your new business. You can use your money for initial franchise fees, equipment, lease-hold improvements, working capital or other expenses. Best of all, directINVEST allows you to tap retirement funds without the taxes and penalties that can cost up to 50% of your money if taken as a distribution.
