There are no required licenses to become a financial planner. However, if you want anyone, other than friends and family, to trust you with the money, you should become certified. Remember, it is a risky business. If customers are unhappy with your service they can sue you, and probably win, given your lack of professional experience.

well,i would think,so,. they want you to be sure to have your mind on more than your old stock job

If you are in the US and you are managing discretionary client accounts, you will need to notice file with your state. You will need to pass the Series 7 and the Series 63. When you notice file, you will also need to register with the state as a principal.
