Your result
You may qualify as an accredited investor.
Before you invest in an offering limited to accredited investors, the issuer, or a verification service it uses, has to confirm your status. That usually takes one of these:
- Income
- Tax returns, W-2s or similar IRS forms for the last two years.
- Net worth
- Recent bank, brokerage and property statements, with a credit report for your debts.
- A professional letter
- A letter from your CPA, attorney, registered investment adviser or broker-dealer confirming your status.
- Licenses
- A check of your Series 7, 65 or 82 license with FINRA.
- Entities
- Financial statements and formation documents, or proof that each owner is accredited.
Your result
You may not qualify as an accredited investor yet.
Offerings limited to accredited investors may not be open to you today. Your status depends on your income, net worth and licenses, so check again if they change. Join the investor list and we will tell you if offerings open that you can take part in.

Different rules apply where you live.
For investors outside the US, offerings are made under Regulation S and the rules of your own country. Many countries have their own test, for professional, qualified or high-net-worth investors, and some offerings may not be available where you live. Join the investor list, and we will confirm what is open to you before you invest. See where we operate.
This pre-check is a guide based on the SEC's definition of an accredited investor in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. It does not verify your status, it is not legal, tax or investment advice, and it does not mean any offering is available to you. Your answers are not saved or sent anywhere.

Questions
What investors ask.
Why are some offerings limited to accredited investors?
US securities law lets a private offering be sold without registering it with the SEC if it is limited to accredited investors, on the view that they can bear the risk and get their own advice. The trade-off is less public disclosure, so read each offering's documents and our risks and disclosures before you invest.
Does this pre-check verify me?
No. It is a guide to whether you may qualify. Before you invest in an offering that requires it, the issuer, or a verification service it uses, confirms your status from documents or a professional's letter.
Are my answers saved?
No. Your answers stay in your browser. Nothing you choose on this page is saved or sent to Arrabon.
What if I invest with my spouse?
You can combine income with a spouse or spousal equivalent, using the $300,000 threshold, and combine net worth for the $1 million test. A spousal equivalent is a partner in a relationship generally equivalent to marriage.
How is net worth counted?
Your assets minus your debts, leaving out your main home. The mortgage on your main home is left out too, up to the home's value. Mortgage debt above its value, or taken on in the last 60 days other than to buy the home, counts as a debt.
Does being accredited mean an investment suits me?
No. Being accredited only means the law allows you to invest in these offerings. It says nothing about whether one suits you. Values can fall, selling is not guaranteed, and you could lose some or all of what you invest.
