I am wondering if it's possible to register a new company, file Form BD (for a California-based broker-dealer aiming to outsource principal (24) and clearing (27) work), and while the form status is pending, sponsor myself or someone else for FINRA licenses like the Series 7.
To say you have a series 7 at cocktail parties! Duh... you never think about these things very much, do you nwm?
