A rollover for business startups (ROBS) allows you to invest funds from an existing 401(k) or individual retirement account (IRA) into your business without paying early withdrawal penalties or taxes. A ROBS is not a business loan nor a loan from your 401(k), which means there are no interest payments to make or debt to repay. It is a way for you to leverage your retirement funds to provide capital to your business.

A rollover for business startups is a way for prospective business owners to use retirement funds to pay for the startup and initial operating costs of a new business without taking out a business loan. A ROBS can also be used to purchase or invest in an existing business or franchise. A C corporation (C-corp), which allows for shareholders, is established and a new 401(k) plan is set up.

The prospective business owner's retirement funds are used to purchase stock in the new company, with the proceeds from the sale of stock used to fund the new or purchased business. This option is preferred to borrowing against an existing 401(k) or IRA because of the interest and penalties that would be assessed and the short-term nature of many 401(k) and IRA loans.
