# Secondary Occupations / Only Occupation

Section 5 of [Regulation 991](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900991) outlines the registration requirements for an individual. It is legislated that the “only business or employment” of an individual be that of an insurance broker, or an insurance broker/life agent.

You can submit a Secondary Business Exemption Form and a letter of support from the Principal Broker to licensing@ribo.com for any other business involvement or employment by submitting a letter of request.

You can find additional information about secondary business requests here:

|| **Mortgage / Real Estate Representatives**
|| Please note that employment as a Real Estate (RECO) or Mortgage sales representative would be considered a conflict of interest with RIBO.   
|| Therefore, prior to registering as an insurance broker, any individual should:
|| * Provide email confirmation that they are aware of the conflict and once RIBO licensed you will not reactivate the RECO/Mortgage license or work as a RECO/Mortgage Sales Rep; and  
|| * Provide email confirmation from RECO/Mortgage that the license has been resigned prior to applying for licensing with RIBO.
