The Web site, “Choosing A Retirement Solution for Your Small Business,” was jointly developed and is co-sponsored by the Labor Department’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) and the AICPA.

The site introduces employers to a number of retirement plan options from a simpler individual retirement account-based plan to the more sophisticated automatic enrollment 401(k) program. It describes the advantages and features of various retirement plans.
