Registered business development companies must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders every year.

BDCs are subject to the same diversification rules as other investment companies. They cannot put more than 5% of their assets in any single security or buy more than 1

Solomon Exam Prep was the ticket to passing my Series 26 test. I would like to thank you all for your help! I highly recommend your study material for the FINRA exams.

David H. Viar, Farm Bureau Financial Services, West Des Moines, IA

Just passed the Series 26! As a new mom, I relied heavily on the Audiobooks and being able to read or test on my iPad whenever I could. The material was accurate and I felt well-prepared after following the suggested study schedule.

Usha Sharma, Transamerica, West Covina, CA

The study materials were spot on! Could not believe it. Topically perfect. Was confident before I hit submit that I had passed.

Peter Cisick, O.N. Equity Sales Co. Collegeville, PA

My sincere thanks and appreciation to the team at Solomon. I've used your materials to pass the SIE and Series 6, both on the first try, and today with your help, I have passed the Series 26 exam on the first try as well! Thank you for the excellent materials and assistance!

Kristina Ribali, MWA Financial Services. Ave Maria, FL

I passed the Series 26 exam last Thursday. As a Physician with very limited time to sit and study, I listened to the CDs over and over again as I drove to and from work, and that really helped me. I will be ordering the Series 65 materials soon.

Daniel Asiedu, PFS Investments, Lincoln, RI

I took a job which required me to pass the SIE, Series 6, Series 63 and Series 26. Understandably this was a pretty tall task, but the Solomon Exam Prep materials made it incredibly easy. I appreciated how well all of the material was laid out for all four tests. I stuck to the study plans that were included in the resources and passed all four tests on the first try. This was a stressful time in my life, but Solomon got me through it! I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone who is looking to become licensed. Part of my new job is managing other licensed individuals and I recently hired two employees who are now required to be licensed. I reached out to Solomon for a demo of their Admin Portal and it is wonderfully comprehensive. It allows me to track my employees progress without having to reach out and be too invasive. Excellent all around!
