What licensing/registration is required for consulting?

The title says it all.

Short version is I have a friend who is looking to break into consulting but has a felony drug charge. The felony can be expunged in a couple of years, but I know this disqualifies her from being FINRA licensed.

I was wondering what kind of registration requirements management/strategy/economic consulting firms typically have. Would her charge auto-ding her or are they more lightly regulated in regards to felonies?

Any help would be appreciated.
