A William Blair IAR works exclusively from a coffee shop in State P, conducting all advisory activities electronically. The Administrator in State P discovers the arrangement. Which is the Administrator MOST LIKELY to conclude?
- AThe coffee shop is not a place of business, so registration is not required.
- BSince business is conducted electronically, registration is not required.
- CThe coffee shop is a place of business, making registration in State P mandatory.✓ Correct answer
- DRegistration is only required if the IAR meets clients in person at the coffee shop.
Explanation
Why C — The coffee shop is a place of business, making registration in State P mandatory.
A 'place of business' under the USA includes any location where the IAR habitually conducts advisory business, regardless of the medium or whether clients are met in person (USA §401(4)). A, B, and D misapply the definition.
