    If you will be dealing in securities you will need a Series 7 (from the NASD). If you will be dealing with insurance products you will need a series 6. These two are exams you have to take and pass. They are licenses to practice. Financial Advisors would benefit from one or all of the following: Registered Investment Advisor (RIA); CFP Certified Financial Planner; CHFP Chartered Financial Planner; or even a CPA. These are designations you achieve by taking classes or exams. They give you credibility, but aren’t required by law as far as I know.
