401(k) matching programs, i.e. employers matching their employees’ retirement fund contributions, are both a fantastic way to attract and keep talent, and an effective way of planning for the future. However, the system unsurprisingly favors the wealthy, who are more readily able to make larger cash contributions.
Lendtable is aiming to tackle this by offering cash advances (not loans) which employees use to full value out of their 401(k) matching plans, retirement annuity (403[b]) as well as employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). In return, the company charges a monthly subscription and a percentage of profit.
Given that around one quarter of American employees are not taking advantage, or are unable to take advantage, of their 401(k), Lendtable has considerable growth potential.
