USA compliance for financial advisors

I performed targeted web research using authoritative federal and industry regulator sources to gather comprehensive guidance on U.S. compliance requirements for financial advisors (federal rules, registration pathways, custody, AML/BSA, privacy, fiduciary duties, state oversight, and practical compliance program elements). Below I summarize the research steps taken, key findings and practical next steps that will support drafting the requested blog and newsletter content for U.S. business owners and LLC founders operating as financial advisors.
