Securities and Exchange Commission, the self-regulatory organizations, and jurisdictions through the Central Registration
Depository (“CRD”) system, operated by FINRA.
2. UPDATING – By law, the applicant must promptly update Form BD information by submitting amendments whenever the
information on file becomes inaccurate or incomplete for any reason.
3. CONTACT EMPLOYEE – The individual listed as the contact employee must be authorized to receive all compliance
information, communications, and mailings, and be responsible for disseminating it within the applicant’s organization.
4. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES ACTIVITIES
A. Broker-dealers registered or applicants applying for registration under Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act that conduct (or
intend to conduct) a government securities business in addition to other broker-dealer activities (if any) must file a notice
on Form BD by answering “yes” to Item 2B.
B. Section 15C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires sole government securities broker-dealers to register with the
SEC. To do so, answer “yes” to Item 2C if conducting only a government securities business.
C. Broker-dealers registered under Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act that cease to conduct a government securities business
must file notice when ceasing their activities in government securities. To do so, file an amendment to Form BD and answer
“yes” to ltem 2D.

registration under 15C of the Exchange Act.

5. FEDERAL INFORMATION LAW AND REQUIREMENTS – An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. Section 15, 15B, 15C, 17(a) and 23(a)

the applicant, is voluntary. The principal purpose of this Form is to permit the Commission to determine whether the applicant
meets the statutory requirement to engage in the securities business. The Form also is used by applicants to register as brokerdealers with certain self-regulatory organizations and all of the states. The Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. maintain the files of the information on this Form and will make the information publicly available. Any member
of the public may direct to the Commission any comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimate on application facing
