Tennessee Broker-Dealer Withdrawal is the process by which a broker-dealer firm may withdraw from registration with the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance. There are two types of Tennessee Broker-Dealer Withdrawal: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary Tennessee Broker-Dealer Withdrawal is initiated by the broker-dealer firm and requires approval by the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance. Involuntary Tennessee Broker-Dealer Withdrawal is initiated by the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance and requires the broker-dealer firm to submit a Form U-4 and other required documents. In either case, the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance must be notified of the withdrawal. Upon approval, the broker-dealer firm must close its accounts with clients, pay any outstanding liabilities, and surrender any books and records to the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance.
