AVOID THESE PITFALLS

9 MISTAKES TO AVOID

1

Using Outdated Documentation

Asset statements, income documents, or verification letters older than 90 days won’t be accepted.

2

Undervaluing Non-Cash Assets

Investors often forget to include things like retirement accounts, private stock, or vested options in their net worth calculation.

3

Sending Incomplete Tax Records

For income-based verification, you must provide full tax returns (Form 1040) or W-2/1099s for two years — partial documents aren’t enough.

4

Assuming Professional Licenses Don’t Count

People with Series 7, 65, or 82 licenses often don’t realize that these automatically qualify them — no income or net worth proof needed.

5

Including Primary Residence in Net Worth

Primary residence cannot be counted toward the $1M net worth requirement. Many people accidentally include home equity.

6

Ignoring Alternative Paths to Accreditation

All documents must show the same full legal name as on your application — mismatched names slow or disqualify the process.

7

Not Matching Names Across Documents

All documents must show the same full legal name as on your application — mismatched names slow or disqualify the process.

8

Missing or Incomplete Verifier Info on Letters

CPA or attorney letters must include the verifier’s name, license number, state of licensure, contact info, and signature.

9

Submitting Personal Docs for Entity Accreditation

If applying via a business or trust, documentation must prove the entity’s assets or structure, not just the individual’s.
