Before handing over your life savings to an advisor, there's one non-negotiable step: checking their record. BrokerCheck isn't just a database—it's the financial industry's equivalent of a background check, powered by the regulatory body itself.

"In a world of paid financial tools, BrokerCheck proves that the most powerful product is often the one that costs nothing."

The tech stack tells its own story. Built on AWS with CloudFront CDN, it's designed for reliability, not virality. No fancy animations, no aggressive growth hacking—just a straightforward form that searches a massive regulatory database. The absence of structured data (Schema.org) is actually a feature: this isn't content for search engines to parse; it's a utility for humans to use.

• Employment history spanning 10+ years for each broker
• Disclosures including customer complaints, regulatory actions, and terminations
• Investment advisory registration details (Series 65, etc.)
• Clear, plain-English explanations of violations and their severity
