How long does it take to launch a brokerage?

With incorporation-only structures, clients have gone live in a matter of weeks. Licensed setups depend on the regulator — typically a few months. We give you a realistic timeline for your specific model before any engagement starts.

How much does it cost to start a brokerage?

Our full brokerage launch starts from $35,000, with incorporation-only routes from $6,500. Third-party costs (platform fees, liquidity deposits, government fees) are separate and we negotiate those on your behalf. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.

Do I need a licence to run a brokerage?

It depends on where your clients are and how you operate. Many founders start with an incorporated offshore entity and upgrade to a licensed structure as they grow. We map the compliant route for your target markets before you commit.

Which platform should I choose — MT5, cTrader or Match-Trader?

It depends on your budget, target region and growth plan. We're vendor-neutral: we've launched clients on all major stacks and recommend the platform that fits your model, then negotiate the terms.
