Use these guides to build a buyer-ready technical brief
Start with the brokerage setup and licensing guides to separate corporate and regulatory permissions from the trading platform licence. Then compare the direct software choices: MT5 infrastructure, Forex CRM, Trader Room, IB portal or a proprietary prop trading platform. Finally, map liquidity, payment and KYC providers to the same account and reconciliation workflow rather than treating each vendor quote as a complete turnkey solution.
For every shortlisted supplier, ask who signs the contract, which data and source-code rights transfer, whether the quote includes setup versus recurring hosting, which API permissions the licensed broker must supply, and how support incidents and migration are handled. Published prices are starting references; request written scope, exclusions and third-party licence terms before committing funds.
