CfA accepts a broad range of business entities due to the diversity of countries, intermediaries and market segments; however, the form of business must be appropriate for the ACfA Label category requested and for the list of services that the intermediary intends to provide. ACfA reserves the right to reject applications where it deems that the company form is inadequate. Regardless of company form, all applicants must be formally registered according to the relevant local laws.
