Can you become licensed to broker stocks/mutual funds independently?

May 6th, 2010

I’ve successfuuly worked in the the insurance business for the past 4 years, captive to my current company due to my current contract. I have thought about going out on my own as a totally independent agent offering Life/Health/Accident, (including long term care) but I also am interested in financial and estate planning. How do you become licensed "independently" to broker mutual funds/stocks?

I do not want to be tied to one company, selling on that companies needs instead of my client’s needs. I feel being totally independent is the only way for me to go.
