Partners In Growth


On September 2, 1974, the Employment Retirement Income Securities Act (ERISA) was passed; on Friday, September 13, 1974, Carlton Cook and Denk Weitnauer, established Business Planning, Inc. The two shunned Friday 13th superstitions and launched one of the earliest retirement plan consulting companies in the post-ERISA era. They saw the opportunity to provide a service to employers, employees, and their families that had been underrepresented before the passage of ERISA. From the outset, Carlton and Denk’s philosophy was to provide a full-service product by concentrating on the needs of small and family business owners and their employees.

Employee Benefit Consulting Services


Corporate Retirement Planning


BPI is able to provide full-service administration of a company’s retirement plan – our goal is to take the administrative burden of operating a retirement plan off your shoulders and put it on ours. We also know that one size does not fit all and that even companies in similar industries may be in different stages of the company life cycle. That is why we talk to companies about different retirement plan options from a 401(k) to a Simple IRA or maybe a Non-Qualified retirement plan. The first step to any plan implementation is to get to know the client; BPI is focused on having multiple face-to-face conversations with the owner and executives in order fully comprehend the company’s needs and objectives. For potential clients, BPI will provide a full review and independent evaluation of your current retirement plan. If after the evaluation BPI does not believe that we can improve the design or service of your plan, there is no cost to you.

Once a plan has been put in place, all BPI retirement plan clients are offered the following servcies:

  • Annual executive review meetings
  • Multiple retirement plan options
  • Employee meetings based on plan requirements and client request
  • Daily valuation
  • Full trust accounting of all contributions
  • IRS 5500 filing
  • IRS and Department of Labor compliance reviews
  • Payroll and plan contribution uploads to investment companies
  • Multiple investment fund choices

Group Insurance


BPI is able to install group disability and life insurance programs for businesses of all shapes and sizes. However, BPI does not just sell “packaged client solutions” or bill a client hourly for “consulting.” BPI is an independent broker with access to multiple product and vendor options. BPI’s focus is to develop a holistic, customized employee benefit plan without burdening the client with a large initial cash outlay. BPI performs an analysis of options, creates a plan design, and implements the solution with no upfront cost.
