Launch your own FX & CFD brokerage — plotted to your budget, your risk, your market.
Most setup firms sell you one jurisdiction and one package. We start by charting where you actually sit — capital available, appetite for risk, the clients you want to serve — and advise the structure that fits, not the one that's easiest for us to sell.
We advise before we build.
A brokerage set up in the wrong jurisdiction, for the wrong client base, at the wrong price point, is an expensive mistake to unwind. So before anything is filed, we plot the three variables that actually determine the right structure.
Matched to what you're actually deploying
Setup and ongoing capital requirements vary by a factor of ten between jurisdictions. We work back from your real budget rather than upselling you into a licence you can't sustain.
Regulatory weight vs. speed to market
Some founders want the credibility of a heavier regime; others want to be trading in weeks. We map your tolerance for oversight, cost and time against what each regime demands.
Clients dictate the licence, not the other way round
Where your clients live changes what's permissible, what marketing is compliant, and what banking and liquidity relationships will actually accept your business.
Plot your route
Set your budget band, risk appetite and target market — the plotter highlights the jurisdictions our team most often recommends for that combination. This is a starting point for the conversation, not a substitute for advice specific to your business.
Route Plotter
3 inputs → indicative jurisdiction matchNine jurisdictions. One recommendation.
We work with licensed partners and counsel on the ground in each location. Timeframes and figures below are indicative and confirmed against current regulatory requirements at the start of your engagement.
Setup is the start, not the deliverable.
Most firms hand you a licence and disappear. We stay for the parts that determine whether the brokerage actually works.
Broker formation & licensing
Entity incorporation, licence application, capital structuring and regulator liaison in your chosen jurisdiction, run end to end by partners who work in that regime daily.
Client onboarding
Our onboarding specialists build and, if you want, operate your KYC/AML intake, so you're acquiring and activating clients correctly from the first sign-up rather than retrofitting it later.
Multi-asset & platform setup
Trading platform selection and configuration, liquidity provider connections, and instrument coverage across FX, CFDs, and adjacent asset classes matched to your target client.
Ongoing compliance
We look after regulatory reporting, policy maintenance and audit readiness on a continuing basis, so compliance stays a managed function rather than something you rediscover at renewal time.
How an engagement runs
Five stages, roughly in this order — though onboarding and compliance groundwork typically start well before your licence is issued, not after.
Advisory consultation
We map your budget, risk appetite and target market and come back with a shortlist of two or three viable jurisdictions, not a single default answer.
Structure & jurisdiction plan
A written plan covering entity structure, capital requirements, indicative timeline and total cost of ownership for the recommended route.
Licensing & incorporation
Our partners handle the filing, regulator correspondence and entity formation, with you looped in at each decision point.
Onboarding & platform build
KYC/AML flow, platform and liquidity setup, built in parallel with licensing so you're ready to trade the day approval lands.
Go-live & ongoing compliance
We stay on for reporting, renewals and policy upkeep, freeing you to run acquisition, trading and the rest of your core business.
