Are You an Accredited Investor?
Ask Yourself These Simple Questions:
- Do you have an annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 for joint income) for the past two years and anticipate the same for the current year?
- Do you have a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with your spouse? (Excluding your personal home)
- Are you an executive officer, director, or general partner of the issuer offering securities?
- Are you a business in which all the equity owners are accredited investors?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, there's a good chance you might qualify as an accredited investor.

Understanding Accredited Investor Status:
According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), an accredited investor is an individual or entity that meets certain financial criteria, demonstrating the ability to bear the economic risk of certain investment opportunities. The criteria include annual income, net worth, or holding specific professional certifications, such as a Series 7 license.

The Series 7 License and Accredited Investor Status:
It's worth noting that possessing a Series 7 license, issued by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), is one way to qualify as an accredited investor. Individuals with this license have demonstrated a thorough understanding of securities and are considered by the SEC to have the knowledge needed to assess and manage investment risks.
