Name Change Information...

Found this on FINRA site.
http://www.finra.org/industry/compliance/registration/crd/usersupport/p005885


How do I go about changing my firm's name?

Section 1D of Form BD, Application Information, is for firms that are changing names, and it says check the box for Applicant Name (1A) or Business Name (1C). In most cases, firms are changing both, in which case they should select both boxes. Reminder that firms must get a "name approval" from the Disclosure Review Unit before filing the name change amendment. Also, the firms will not see the name change in CRD immediately - there's a 10-day "grace period" after the name change amendment is submitted during which FINRA notifies the jurisdiction of the impending change.
