401(k) and retirement plans for Dublin, CA businesses
Dublin’s business community includes franchises, restaurants, medical and dental offices, retailers and newer service firms. Pleasanton Wealth helps Dublin owners set up a retirement plan that meets the CalSavers requirement and works for the owner and the team.
What Dublin business owners ask us about
- CalSavers or your own plan. Most Dublin businesses with at least one eligible W-2 employee (other than owners) must now offer a plan or register with CalSavers. We compare the two for your payroll and help you certify the exemption if you choose your own plan.
- Part-time and high-turnover teams. Restaurants, retail and franchise locations often rely on part-time staff. Eligibility rules, including a federal rule that lets longer-serving part-time staff join a 401(k), shape the design and the cost.
- Newer businesses. A business in its first few years may qualify for federal startup tax credits and may be exempt from the automatic-enrollment requirement for 401(k) plans.
- Reviewing an existing plan. If your plan was set up by a payroll company or a previous adviser, we review its fees, investments and design and lay out clear next steps.

For 401(k) plans we serve as an ERISA 3(38) investment manager, taking responsibility for selecting and monitoring the plan’s investments. There are no commissions, fees are disclosed in writing before you sign, and 401(k) plan assets are held by the plan’s own custodian and recordkeeper, not by us.
