Returning from lengthy disability

[WildGoose]

I was a life agent from 1988-1998, and then moved to a major wirehouse as an FA until I became totally disabled in 2002. Its been a long recovery but I believe I am ready to begin the process. I have no interest in going back to a wirehouse. I plan to focus on a top tier carrier like MM/ NWM who also has advisory services. But I first need a sponsor to re-take 7, 66, and 24. I'd prefer to have them in back in place before discussing contracts.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a BD who will sponsor me?

Thanks in advance

You can do the SIE, Serie 63, 65, or 66 without broker/dealer sponsorships.

The 6TO or 7TO (top off to "top off" the SIE) requires sponsorship.

Ameriprise and Securian required Series 7 & 66 before getting started with them. I don't know of any other firm that requires the 7 right out of the gate. However, being registered before may make a difference? Even then, most firms would first sponsor you for a Series 6 rather than a 7.
