(Free-Press-Release.com) May 19, 2004 --

St. Louis, MO � May 19, 2004 � MyBizBenefits (www.mybizbenefits.com), the only open platform benefits information service offering unbiased plan-type education, plan level research, and free quotes from popular providers, today announces inaugural services. In progressive steps site visitors can utilize free and independent educational content to learn about retirement and health benefits, research plans, and then request quotes from multiple providers simultaneously. �MyBizBenefits delivers what I refer to as zero-to-sixty information,� said Jay Barker, Founder of MyBizBenefits. �Someone with no experience can quickly become knowledgeable about plan types, and then learn about one or more selected providers� services before requesting a plan quote.�

MyBizBenefits will initially offer educational content for individual and small business 401k plans, the new health savings account (HSA), and health savings account eligible health plans for both individuals and groups. After nailing down the basics, business owners can research plan providers ranging from web-based to financial service companies as a precursor to requesting quote information. Major providers include Fidelity Investments, North Track Funds, Pioneer Investments, Franklin Templeton, and Decimal, Inc., doing business as The Online 401(k). "MyBizBenefits.com is a great source of unbiased, objective information for our clients and prospects on plan education, providers, and other issues affecting the small business market" said Blair Stientjes, Vice President of Business Development for Decimal, Inc. (www.theonline401k.com).

While visiting the site users can download a free 401k Buyers Guide and an Individual 401k Fact Sheet with provider services reference, study contribution limit tables, formulas, and examples, and also utilize a full-function 401k calculator. MyBizBenefits also encourages personal consultation by allowing users to send a selected page of interest to their advisor. �MyBizBenefits.com is an information-rich resource for self-employed or small businesses as well as brokers and advisors who serve this market. It is cut-to-the-quick, objective information without all the glossy marketing,� said Scott Stevens, Senior Managing Director at North Track Funds.



To promote ongoing education press members can access topical articles for reprint, or research benefit-related stories from the ever-expanding press resource page. �Providing resources that increase the small business owner�s benefit knowledge is beneficial to both plan providers and sponsors,� said Jay Barker.
