Say an individual's self-directed IRA owns a business, and the individual is curious which (if any) services he can provide to the business (ex. offer consulting services). Question is, does this run afoul of the prohibited transaction rules? I'm thinking yes, with respect to Code Sec. 4975(c)(1)(C) - because it would involve a disqualified person furnishing services to a plan asset (akin to the individual being prohibited from providing free labor/repairs to an investment property owned by the self directed IRS). Curious if others agree, or have other thoughts.

An IRA Owner would like to direct investment into a newly forming privately held US Business, whereby he would have an equity interest of less than 10% (probably less than 5%). It should be noted the IRA Owner would be a member of the advisory board as a recognized professional with immeasurable experience and knowledge as it relates the product the company is developing and will ultimately be marketing. Would this be a Prohibited Transaction? If the IRA Owner is not a member of the advisory board would the answer change? Would being a member of the advisory board raise self dealing issues? The business is developing and ultimately will market an implantable prosthetic. Would this trigger Unrelated Business Income issues? The company is expected to be quite successful and the IRA Owner would like the investment growth to occur in his tax deferred IRA rather than his personal asset portfolio for tax reasons. Could this person who has a non-Title I DBP make the same investment using the DBP assets? The issue of liquidity is understood. The need for annual valuation of the privately held investment for plan valuation purposes is also recognized. Thank you
