Trading Through a Company or LLC

An FPT profile always belongs to a named individual. Here is how a company or LLC can and cannot fit around that, and what to settle before your first payout.

An FPT profile belongs to a person. The person named on the profile is the person who accepted the terms, the person who must place every trade, and the person FPT verifies before releasing a payout. A company or LLC does not replace any of that.

What a business entity can sometimes do is sit on the tax and payment side of the arrangement. Whether that is possible in your case is a question to settle with support before your first payout cycle closes, not after.

What Never Changes

Attaches to a named individual, always
Acceptance of the Terms of Use and the Program Agreement
The obligation to place every trade personally
Every conduct rule, including the ban on account sharing
Identity verification
Per-person limits — 5 active accounts, $500,000 combined allocation, $25,000 aggregate monthly payout maximum

An entity cannot hold an FPT account in the way it might hold a brokerage account, because FPT is not a brokerage. What you buy is an evaluation of your trading, and an evaluation of a company is not a coherent idea.

What a Company Cannot Do

It cannot get you more accounts. Registering under a company name to hold accounts beyond the five is a duplicate profile, whatever the entity structure. See One FPT Profile Per Person.

It cannot let someone else trade. A business partner, an employee, a contractor or a family member trading your account is account sharing — a breach under Good-Faith Trading and Prohibited Conduct, and no operating agreement changes that.

It cannot pool a group's trading. Multiple people trading multiple accounts under one entity, especially with coordinated positions, is exactly what Coordinated Trading and Related Accounts prohibits.

It cannot make a payout anonymous. A payout goes to the verified account holder. An entity in the chain does not remove the requirement to verify the individual behind it.

What a Company May Be Able to Do

Two narrower things are worth asking about.

Receive the payout. Where your tax arrangements route trading income through an entity, FPT may be able to direct an approved payout accordingly — subject to verification of both you and the entity, and subject to what FPT's payout arrangements support. This is not automatic and is not a right; ask first.

Pay the purchase. A business method used at checkout is a payment-identity mismatch by default, because the paying name is not your name. If your circumstances make that unavoidable, raise it with billing@fundedpredictiontrader.com before you buy — see Payment-Method Ownership.

Whether either is available at launch depends on the payout and payment arrangements FPT puts in place. Those are not finalised and FPT does not name a provider until one has been selected.

If You Want to Try This, Do It in This Order

  1. Create and hold the FPT profile in your own legal name. Never in the company's name.
  2. Make sure the profile's name, date of birth and country are correct — see Accurate Account Information.
  3. Email support@fundedpredictiontrader.com early, describing the entity, its relationship to you, and what you want it to do — receive a payout, pay for the account, or both.
  4. Expect a verification request covering both the individual and the entity, and expect it to take longer than an individual check.
  5. Wait for FPT to confirm the arrangement in writing before you rely on it.

Do this while you are in evaluation. An entity introduced on the day a payout is submitted looks, from the outside, like a payout being redirected — and it will be reviewed as one.

Tax Is Yours

FPT does not give tax advice and does not decide how your income should be characterised. A payout is your income to report, and your tax obligations are yours in every case — see Taxes and Customer Responsibility.

If you are setting up an entity because someone told you it changes your position, take advice from a qualified professional in your own jurisdiction. FPT support will not confirm a tax outcome and should not be treated as having done so.

Verification With an Entity Involved

Where an entity is part of the arrangement, verification may cover both sides: government-issued photo identity and proof of address for you as the individual, plus business documentation establishing that the entity exists and that you are behind it. The process and provider will be published in Identity Verification before verification is required of anyone.

The Honest Summary

For almost everyone, the right answer is the simple one: your own profile, your own name, your own payment method, your own payout. An entity adds verification steps, adds review time and adds ways for a payout to stall — and it does not add a single account, a single dollar of allocation, or a single point of payout capacity.

If you have a genuine reason, ask early and FPT will tell you what is possible. If the reason is to hold more accounts than the rules allow, the answer is no, and the finding will be treated as a duplicate-profile breach.

Still Need Help?

Email support@fundedpredictiontrader.com with the specifics of your entity and what you want it to do. Ask before you buy, and certainly before your first payout cycle closes.
