One roof, one roadmap
Platform, bridge, CRM, and web are integrated by the same team — no three-vendor blame loops when launch week goes sideways.
Brokerage Division
Start a forex brokerage — end to end, with one accountable team.
The technology stack, end to end: MT5 white label platform, liquidity and bridge, CRM and trader's room, and the website that funnels clients into it — on one fixed-scope roadmap with third-party costs identified separately. Entity formation and licensing are handled by your own lawyers and corporate service providers; we deliver the technical requirements those vendors will ask of you.
The launch roadmap
From entity to first deposit.
Seven steps, sequenced so vendor paperwork never blocks the build. Click any step for the dedicated page.
- 01Entity & license — your sideLawyers and corporate service providers handle formation and the regulatory application. Outside our scope — we deliver the technical requirements those vendors will ask of you.
- 02Vendor onboarding (technical)Architecture documentation, compliance-ready infrastructure, and the due-diligence packages MetaQuotes, bridges, LPs, and PSPs require.
- 03Platform (MT5 white label)Licensed servers, branding, dealing-desk configuration, and demo environments — your name on the terminal.
- 04Liquidity & bridgeLP connections, failover, and A-book/B-book routing so clients actually get executable prices.
- 05CRM & trader's roomOnboarding, KYC, payments, support, and IB commissions — the back office that runs the business.
- 06Website & client areaA compliance-aware public funnel wired into the CRM: register, verify, fund, trade.
- 07Launch & stabilizeGo-live checklist, smoke tests, first-week support, and operations handover your team can run.
Plan the launch
Start as an IB, a white label, or onshore?
Three routes to market, and they are not the same business. Switch between them to see which line items exist, who each one is paid to, and what year one realistically costs.
Launch model planner
The same year-one bands as the budget table, split by who each line is paid to. Directional planning figures, not a quote.

90 days is the marketing answer. The gate is entity formation, banking, and vendor paperwork — not the technology, which runs in parallel.
Scope this model on a callProfitLabs delivers technology only. Entity formation, licence applications, and legal opinions come from your own lawyers and licensed corporate service providers — nothing here is legal or investment advice.
Budget overview
What a brokerage launch actually costs.
Directional planning numbers for a lean offshore launch — stated up front because surprises at this level of spend are how partnerships die. Exact figures come from your jurisdiction, volume plans, and vendor quotes.

ProfitLabs provides technology and technical-readiness services only. Legal, formation, and regulatory work is outside our scope and must be handled by your own qualified counsel — requirements change and every plan must be verified with them. Our fees are fixed-scope and agreed in writing before work starts. No income or licensing outcomes are promised anywhere in this program.
Why launch with us
Built by people who also build the tools brokers operate.
The same delivery discipline our trading desk uses — applied to brokerage infrastructure.
Fixed-scope economics
Every ProfitLabs work package carries a written fixed quote. Third-party fees are itemized separately, not buried in a bundled number.
Trader-side credibility
We build EAs, panels, and bots for the traders who will become your clients. We know what the other side of the platform actually demands.
Operations handover
Go-live includes runbooks and staff walkthroughs. The goal is a brokerage your team runs without us — with us available when you call.
