Why B — A person who solicits securities transactions on behalf of the firm
An associated person is any individual who engages in the firm's securities business, including soliciting trades, supervising those who do, or acting in a principal capacity. Clerical or ministerial employees (like janitors) who do not engage in the securities business, independent contractors providing non-securities services, and software vendors are generally not considered associated persons.
