INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 5 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 2022-05-01 ADDRESS: 400 SW 1st Ave Fort Lauderdale; FL; 33301, United States DESCRIPTION: Employee Retention Credit ERC Specialists is a firm that specializes in Employee Retention Credits. This is a benefit created through the CARES Act, and applies specifically to companies with W2 employees who were in business during the pandemic. Instead of having a captive salesforce they leverage people with relationships in local communities. I am seeking approval to refer my high-net worth friends to ERC Specialists in the event that ERC could benefit my friend�??s business. The extent of my involvement is introducing the ERC website where applicable. From there the client completes a simple questionnaire and the ERC specialist team takes over completely to see if they are good fit. 3.CAPITAL INSURANCE AGENCY POSITION: Insurance Agent NATURE: Insurance Sales. INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 120 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 09/01/2013 ADDRESS: 5491 UNIVERSITY DR #103; CORAL SPRINGS; FL; 33067, United States DESCRIPTION: Sell fixed insurance products. 4. NAME OF ENTITY: Cost Segregation Services Incorporated; No; 10211 Siegan Lane Building 1; Baton Rouge; LA; 70810; Being a real estate investor, I recently learned about the benefit of accelerated depreciation. Very few real estate investors understand this as it is a nuance concept in real estate tax law. CSSI is a firm that provides a site analysis report which is a requirement needed for tax preparation for any real estate investor seeking accelerated depreciation. As an agent of CSSI I would earn commission every time a referred real estate investor pays for a completed property study with CSSI. A real estate investor would only pay for the study if there is a substantial benefit. There is no commitment of the real estate investor to actual pay and move forward with the services. In no way will I be providing tax advice, investment advice, or financial planning services. This is correlation with my investment property ownership business. I would be a local representative of CSSI which would allow me to introduce their services and make a commission in an agent�s capacity.; Agent; 5/1/2022; 4; 0; See Above in 2.1.10.| 5.
