It varies by B/D, but they worry more about regulatory items, terminations, and internal investigations. Who are you thinking about affiliating with? Myself and the other members on this forum can all tell you what we know about them and what they look for.

We take it on a case by case basis. It really just comes down to a business decision for the firm. We are a privately held firm so we are able really base it on the individual. If you have no regulatory dings then that definitely helps. If you would like more information about us you can PM me.

Why don''t you think about opening your own firm with the other advisors.  Even better is the each of you could register as separate RIAs and share office and assistant.  Joining a firm is not necessary and the large custodians have so much support that it is unbelievable. 

An alternative is that we also have an RIA that you can join.  But we consider this a temporary home.  In about a couple of year we will help you setup your own RIA and we are friendly about it.  Secondly we put in writing that your clinets are your property.  We beleive each advisor can and should own thier own RIA. 

Call me as I am sure you have a lot of questions on each of these models.
