Small Business Financing Solutions
- Need Usable Capital?

If you've ever tried to finance a business or finance a franchise you know that the number one problem and reason for not getting started is lack of funding. NAFEP helps small business start ups and franchises through its mySOP^SM program.

A Employee Stock Ownership Plan, referred to after this as "mySOP^SM", 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.
