Benefits Plans
for Small Businesses

McDougallFlex is the perfect plan for small businesses of three or more employees who want simplicity, flexibility, and cost control.  More than an “off-the-shelf” benefits plan, McDougallFlex provides a range of options for employers to design a benefits plan specifically for their employees.

What are McDougallFlex Benefits?

Traditional group benefit plans often have a “one size fits all” approach where every member of your company has the same benefits. With the McDougallFlex Benefits Plan, you select the benefits to offer to show your employees you care, with the flexibility of a more tax-effective plan.

With the McDougallFlex Benefits Plan, the plan sponsor selects the benefits to offer to employees. Employees then receive the flexibility they need for their own coverage through a tax-effective plan. The combination of insurance protection and flexibility is one of the key advantages of McDougallFlex.

There is a growing demand for a group plan that is flexible, easy, and affordable for small businesses.  Some small businesses assume they are too small to have a truly flexible solution or have found in the past it was too expensive to do so. The McDougallFlex Benefits Plan is designed to meet this demand.

The McDougallFlex Benefits Plan is unique because employers can tailor which benefits to offer. The employer gains control over the costs of a plan while offering real choice for their employees, showing their appreciation and attracting new talent with a quality benefits package.
