Key Terms

credit facilities financial

Credit facilities are arrangements with banks or lenders that let a company borrow money up to an agreed limit when it needs cash, similar to a business credit card or a home line of credit. They matter to investors because they show how a company manages short‑ and medium‑term financing needs, affect liquidity and debt levels, and can influence costs and risks if borrowing terms change or covenants are breached.

regulatory compliance regulatory

Regulatory compliance is the process of ensuring that a company follows all applicable laws, rules, and standards set by government authorities or industry bodies. It is important to investors because it helps prevent legal penalties, financial losses, and reputational damage, contributing to the overall stability and trustworthiness of a business. Think of it as following the rules of a game to play fairly and avoid penalties.

series 7 financial

A Series 7 is a regulatory exam and license required for financial professionals who sell a broad range of investment products, such as stocks, bonds and options. For investors it matters because it signals that the person advising or handling trades has passed standardized testing and meets industry rules—think of it like a driver's license that shows someone is qualified to operate across many types of investment transactions, improving trust and accountability.

series 7 and 66 licenses financial

Series 7 and Series 66 licenses are professional certifications that allow a person to sell a wide range of investments and to give state-level investment advice; they are earned by passing regulated exams and meeting registration requirements. For investors, these licenses are like a driver’s license and a navigation endorsement: they signal that a broker or advisor has basic, supervised qualifications to execute trades and provide investment guidance, helping assess trust and accountability.
