Case Study

California Cannabis Company

This franchise cannabis company has several businesses with one central HR team. They have been trying to find a way to comply with the CA State mandate, but haven’t been able to find a 401k provider at a reasonable cost.

Challenge

They needed to comply with the California retirement mandate, but the only provider that would work with them was offering an extremely expensive bespoke 401(k) plan. This would not only cost orders of magnitude more than Icon, it would require a very complicated integration with a long roll out period.

Result

They found an affordable, flexible plan that complies with the California mandate.

We couldn’t find a retirement solution that would work for us, until we found Icon."
