Who else will own or control the firm?
Arizona vets everyone who will hold a 25% or more direct ownership interest in the firm, or who will have decision-making authority over it — not just you. One co-owner's disqualifying history can stop the whole application, so we ask about them up front.
For each person, check anything that applies. If nothing applies, leave them all unchecked.
A few background questions
Under the Arizona Supreme Court's ABS rule (ACJA § 7-209), certain items mean an application cannot proceed. Please answer honestly — answers are verified later, and your honesty is what protects your deposit.
A few more — these aren't automatic disqualifiers
If any of these apply, it doesn't rule you out — but an attorney needs to review it with you before we proceed. We can't and won't make that judgment ourselves.
You're eligible to proceed
Based on what you've told us, nothing here blocks an ABS application — so you're clear to book your ABS Fit & Roadmap.
A couple of items you noted will simply be reviewed with the attorney during your session — nothing to worry about now.
Reminder: this is not legal advice, and a favorable check is not ABS approval — only the Arizona Supreme Court grants that.
We're not able to take a deposit right now
Thank you for being straightforward. Based on your answers, the following would block an ABS application under the Arizona Supreme Court's rule (ACJA § 7-209):
Because that would keep the application from succeeding, it wouldn't be right for us to take your money. If your circumstances change, we'd be glad to revisit this with you.
