About Us

The N.H. Bureau of Securities Regulation is an agency of the New Hampshire Secretary of State. Our two-fold mission is to provide equitable regulation for the protection of New Hampshire investors while facilitating responsible capital formation in the state.

The Bureau registers securities brokerage firms, broker agents, investment advisers and investment adviser representatives.  In addition, it registers certain securities and approves certain filings known as exemptions from registration.  

The Bureau also investigates complaints about registrants and may take administrative or legal action against persons who violate New Hampshire securities laws.  In addition, the Bureau examines securities professionals and firm branch offices located in the state. 

The Bureau also provides investor education materials and programs to a wide range of audiences, with experienced speakers available to present to groups in your area. For more information about our speaker's bureau click here.
