(3) The financial responsibility, financial condition, business experience, character, and general fitness of the applicant shall be such as to reasonably warrant the commissioner to believe that the applicant's business will be conducted honestly, carefully, and efficiently. To the extent that the commissioner deems advisable, he may investigate and consider the qualifications of officers and directors of an applicant in determining whether the applicant qualifies.
