Defined Benefit (DB) and Defined Contribution (DC) Plans have some specific differences.
In floor offset arrangements, in which an employer maintains two separate retirement plans, these plans work alongside one another to maximize the portion of total employer contributions going towards the benefit of the business owner.
There are many factors to consider when choosing a retirement plan, which is why you want to find someone who is adept in retirement plan design and up to date with IRS rules and regulations to help design the perfect plan for your situation.

A cash balance plan is a defined benefit plan that looks like a defined contribution plan.
A cash balance plan can be designed so that, unlike in a traditional defined benefit plan, key employees or business partners with the same pay and service receive the same contribution and benefit payout from the plan regardless of differences in their ages.

A floor offset arrangement is a defined benefit (DB) plan combined with a defined contribution (DC) plan such as a profit sharing plan to provide a total benefit.
