What is a mySOPSM
(my Stock Ownership Plan)
A Employee Stock Ownership Plan, referred to after this as "mySOPSM", is a form of a 401(k) plan setup for your own C-corp. The mySOP's purpose is to purchase the shares of your own C-corp. This structure is designed to get cash from a 401(k) or IRA into a corporation. This is necessary in order for start-ups, small businesses or cash strapped companies to tap cash from employee pension accounts.
