You will discover all the resources you need right here to initiate the process of establishing your Self-Directed IRA (SD IRA). If you prefer to start this journey independently, the following steps will lead you through the process. Alternatively, if you would like assistance from our Client Service Team, simply pause at step one and arrange a consultation with one of our team members.
If you’re confident in your ability to begin without assistance, proceed to step two. There, you will choose the type of SD IRA account you would like and complete the application.

In preparation of completing the application you will need the following information readily available: information from your government issued photo ID, your beneficiary contact info, DOB, SSN, and share percentage, and your bank account and routing number if you elect automatic contributions.
