By rolling your  401(k), 403(b), Keogh or other retirement funds into Guidant's 401(k) business financing vehicle, you can:

•    Buy a franchise, lower overhead and increase your success rate. Instead of sending interest payments to a lender, you can use your money to purchase advertising, lease equipment or hire additional staff.

•    Eliminate personal liability. Use our own funds to avoid pledging your home or other assets as loan collateral and potentially jeopardizing your personal credit.

•    Maximize tax-deferred benefits. By investing your retirement funds into your own franchise, you can reinvest your profits tax-deferred in your business or in your retirement account. Build your business while you grow your retirement nest egg.

•    Enjoy flexibility. You can mix your retirement funds with personal funds or capital from other investors. It's the ideal financing structure for husband-and-wife teams!
