Should a prop firm publish its legal company name and address?
Quick answer
Yes. Publishing the legal entity name, registration number and address is expected by traders, required by many consumer laws for online sellers, and requested by payment providers. Anonymous firms are viewed with suspicion and struggle with banks and processors.
Detailed answer
General information, not legal, tax or regulatory advice. Rules differ by country and change over time; confirm your position with a qualified professional before acting on it.
Where to show it:
- Website footer on every page.
- Terms and privacy policy.
- Checkout and receipts.
- Contact page, with a working email.
What to include:
- Legal name and registration number.
- Registered address.
- Contact email.
- Jurisdiction and governing law in the terms.
Transparency about who runs the firm is one of the cheapest trust signals available. This is general information, not legal advice.
Match everywhere
Use exactly the same legal name and address on the website, terms, receipts and payment descriptors. Differences confuse traders and can trigger extra checks from banks and payment providers.
Keep it current
Update every page and document if the company's details change.
Add the people
Where you are comfortable doing so, naming the founders or team builds further trust. Traders are more willing to buy from people they can identify than from an anonymous brand.
Registration links
Linking to the company's public registry entry lets traders verify the details themselves.
