Do You Qualify as an Accredited Investor?

Here's What You Need to Know

  • The SEC requires $200K+ individual income (or $300K+ joint) OR $1M+ net worth excluding primary residence.
  • You only need to meet ONE of the two financial thresholds — income or net worth, not both.
  • This quiz is a self-screening tool, not a formal verification — BassEXP confirms status separately.
