Series 26: Approval Of Change In Exempt Status

Taken from our Series 26 Online Guide

Approval of Change in Exempt Status

An exempt firm may not change its method of doing business in a manner that would change its exempt status or begin operations that would disqualify it from a continued exemption under the customer protection rule without having obtained FINRA’s prior written approval.

In deciding whether to approve or deny an application for a change in exempt status, FINRA will consider the firm’s type of business, the training, experience and qualifications of its associated persons, its procedures for safeguarding customer funds and securities, its overall financial and operational condition, and any other information considered relevant under the particular circumstances.
