Other Businesses

Bradley J. Blomquist is the Owner/Founder of two affiliated-but legally separate-outside businesses: (1) BJB Insurance Solutions, LLC (2560 Palmetto Hall Blvd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29466; established 11/2022) and (2) High Tide Tax Solutions, LLC (725 Hillcrest Dr, Iron Mountain, MI 49801; established 07/2025). BJB Insurance Solutions is investment-related because its life-insurance and annuity products are frequently incorporated into retirement-income and legacy strategies. Mr. Blomquist devotes approximately 80 hours per month to BJB (about 50 hours during normal securities-trading hours), overseeing agency operations, developing new business, consulting with clients on insurance solutions, and coordinating with underwriters. High Tide Tax Solutions is not investment-related; it provides federal and state tax-return preparation, year-round tax-planning consultations, and limited IRS/state representation. He spends roughly 40 hours per month on HTT (about 15 hours during trading hours), managing workflow, reviewing returns, advising on tax-efficient strategies, and supervising seasonal staff. Across both affiliates, Mr. Blomquist allocates roughly 30 % of his total professional time outside the advisory practice (~ 20 % BJB, 10 % HTT). Clients of High Tide Advisory are never required to purchase insurance or tax services through these entities; any compensation (commissions from BJB or flat fees from HTT) is separate from advisory fees and fully disclosed in the Firm Brochure. Conflicts are mitigated through written engagement letters, adherence to the Firm's Code of Ethics, and procedures that ensure Mr. Blomquist remains reachable and can respond promptly to advisory client needs-even while engaged in insurance or tax activities-thus maintaining his fiduciary duty to act solely in clients' best interests.
