What happens during setup
1
Application and review
Complete the application, provide requested supporting information, and respond to any review questions.
2
Formation and plan setup
Nexus coordinates the C-Corp, EINs, initial company setup, and 401(k) plan and trust.
3
Rollover processing
You request direct rollovers from the sending retirement custodians. Each custodian controls its own forms and processing time.
4
Capitalization
Once funds arrive and required actions are complete, the plan trust purchases company stock and the business receives the proceeds.
What can extend the timeline
- Incomplete or inconsistent application information
- Replacement retirement-account statements or other requested evidence
- Multiple retirement accounts with different custodians
- State filing or IRS processing delays
- Sending-custodian forms, checks, transfer restrictions, or processing queues
- A current-employer plan that restricts in-service rollovers
- Account eligibility, funding-designation, or compliance questions requiring review
