When I spoke with BFI on the phone earlier this year, it seemed like they were concerned with licensees engaging in unsupervised activities like private and commercial lending.

There are phone apps that help with that. 

I’ll send you a pm w my cell - text me and we can schedule a time to discuss.Sincerely, Mark Updegraff 

Calling on the phone is usually useless as they'll tell you to come in.
