At that point, I talked to several of the SOLO401K Plan Providers here on BP (Look at their 'tag lines' when they post - they are not supposed to toot their own horn') and ended up choosing @Dmitriy Fomichenko from Sense Financial and have been very happy with the service from him and his staff.

I’m planning a trip there in January to take a tour and meet the staff.
