Do you need the 7 or is the 65 fine?

[quote=iceco1d]The  65 is to form your own RIA, or be an IAR at someone else’s RIA.  You are allowed to provide advice for a fee…not sell products or securities.

  The 7 is to be a registered rep of a broker/dealer.  You are allowed to sell securities, but only provide advice that is incidental to the sale.  The 7 must be coupled with the 63 (state license) or the 66 (the 63 and 65 combined).  [/quote]   You sound like you should work for the SEC or FINRA.

Would he need a supervisory license like the 9,10 or 24?

No.  Not for an RIA.
