Desk checklist before funds or tender

  1. Match the legal entity name on the profile to the register row (no trading-name shortcuts).
  2. Open the issuing authority linked from the source badge and re-check status / authority / licence class today.
  3. Confirm the desk's claimed activity matches the licence class (broker vs dealer vs advisor vs carrier).
  4. Ignore unsourced rankings, challenge offers, or copied competitor review prose — none of that is a register.
