Peter-

Before coming back to the museum world, I owned a small company in 
Colorado. I felt it was important to offer employees some sort of 
retirement plan so, after doing a lot of research, I set up Simple IRA 
accounts. Many financial companies offer them (UBS, Merrill Lynch, 
etc.). I wound up going through EdwardJones. The Simple IRA we used is 
administered through The Hartford. You might try contacting them 
directly. I have been very pleased with their program.
