As a mortgage banker, Jeff Nabers became aware of self-directed IRA investing in 2002. Instantly captivated, he set off on an extraneous process of research. Initially, he aimed to form real estate partnerships with his personal contacts while including retirement funds. After referring his contacts to various self-directed IRA custodians, he realized that these custodian corporations were often creating more problems than they were solving.

Jeff then founded Nabers Group, originally as a consulting firm to help self-directed IRA investors who sought guidance that their custodian, administrator, or facilitator could not provide. Over time, Jeff further realized that the majority of the problems he was hired to fix could have been avoided if the individual would have started off on the right foot - with an extremely knowledgeable and capable self-directed retirement plan provider. Because his idea of a utopian provider did not exist, he shifted Nabers Group to become that utopian provider.

Recognizing the IRA LLC as a powerful alternative to the fee-ridden & delay-ridden experience of transacting only through IRA custodians, Jeff negotiated an exclusive licensing agreement with the creator of the special-purpose IRA LLC, attorney Debra Buchanan. While many others have plagiarized Buchanan's IRA LLC system, only Nabers Group has received revisions, updates, and support from Buchanan.

In late 2006, changes in retirement account law expanded the usefulness of the Solo 401(k). Nabers Group became the first plan provider to offer the most capable investment vehicle available to Americans: the self-directed, self-administered, self-trustee Solo 401(k).
