FAQ:
Why Setting Up Your Own Pension Plan Is the Preferred Option for Small Businesses
Setting up an in-house pension plan gives you more control over contributions, tax-free benefits, and the power of compounding for your employees. It’s often the most flexible and cost-effective way for small businesses to stay compliant with 2026 auto-enrolment rules.
How Does My Future Fund Fit Into Pension Planning?
While our focus is on helping small businesses set up their own in-house plans, employees may search for My Future Fund as part of their research.

Pension auto-enrolment is coming in 2026 for Irish employers. We help small businesses understand their legal responsibilities, choose the right scheme, and ensure staff are enrolled correctly.
How Long Does It Take to Set Up a Pension Plan for Your Business?
Typically, the setup process takes around 2 weeks, depending on your company size. We guide employers through each step to ensure compliance and smooth enrolment.
What If My Business Already Has a Pension Scheme?
If a pension plan is already in place, we review it to ensure it meets the new rules and My Future Fund considerations, and update it if necessary.
