Are you overlooking one of the most powerful retirement strategies available to entrepreneurs and small business owners? In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen take a deep dive into the Solo 401(k) — explaining exactly what it is, who qualifies, and how it can dramatically improve your retirement savings and tax strategy. If you’re self-employed, a freelancer, or running a small business, this plan could be a game-changer for your financial future.

Unlike traditional retirement accounts, the Solo 401(k) comes with higher contribution limits, flexible investment options, and unique tax advantages that put you in control. Mark and Mat walk you through how the plan works, the rules you need to know, and why so many entrepreneurs are using it to invest not only in the stock market, but also in real estate, private companies, and alternative assets. They’ll also cover common misconceptions, key mistakes to avoid, and practical strategies to maximize the benefits of this plan.

Whether you’re just getting started with retirement planning or looking for ways to reduce your tax burden while growing wealth, this episode breaks it all down in plain, actionable steps. By the end, you’ll understand why the Solo 401(k) stands out compared to SEP IRAs and other options — and how to know if you qualify.
