FinPros review

FinPros names two companies in two jurisdictions: FQ Holdings LTD in the Isle of Man owns the domain, FinPros Financial Ltd in Seychelles operates it and holds the licence. The Seychelles entity is listed on the regulator's own register, which is more than most offshore brokers can show.

Last verified 12 August 2026 · how we check

Most offshore brokers name one company and hope you stop reading. FinPros names two, in two different countries, and says plainly which does what. That’s worth starting with, because the split decides who you are actually dealing with.

From the legal notice on its own front page:

‘FinPros.com’ is a domain owned by FQ Holdings LTD, a Company incorporated in the Isle of Man with registration number 018221V. The domain is operated by FinPros Financial Ltd, a Company incorporated in Seychelles with registration number 8429300-1 […] and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (‘FSA’) as a Securities Dealer with License number: SD087.

So the brand and the domain belong to an Isle of Man company. The account, the money and the licence sit with a Seychelles company. You contract with Seychelles.

The licence checks out, and that’s not nothing

We looked FinPros up on the regulator’s own site rather than taking the number from the footer. FINPROS FINANCIAL LTD is listed by the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles under Securities Dealer, on its Capital Markets register, with the trading name Finpros and the website finpros.com.

That puts it in a different category from firms that print a licence number nobody can find. Compare our writeup on Hugo’s Way, where the regulator published a notice saying the company never held authorisation and had been dissolved.

Two things the register does not settle:

The number itself. The FSA’s public listing gives company names, addresses and contact details, not licence numbers. So SD087 is the firm’s own claim; what the register confirms is that the company is on it as a securities dealer.

The address differs. The FSA lists FinPros Financial Ltd at CT House, Office 4A, Providence, Mahe. The firm’s own legal notice says CT House, Office 9A. Same building, different suite. That is the kind of detail that is either a stale record or a move nobody updated, and it is checkable against both sources in a minute.

What a Seychelles licence gets you, and what it doesn’t

A Securities Dealer licence is real supervision: capital requirements, audits, and a rule that client money sits apart from company money. It is meaningfully more than a company registration.

It is also not FCA, ASIC or CySEC. There is no investor compensation scheme behind it. If the firm fails, no fund makes you whole, and the recovery route is a claim in Seychelles. Our page on leverage limits by regulator sets out where each supervisor sits.

The leverage tells you which rules apply

FinPros publishes four account tiers on its front page:

1:1000 on the entry account is the headline number and the clearest signal. No UK, EU or Australian licence permits anything close, so a retail client taking that account is being served under Seychelles rules and nothing else. At 1:1000 a move of one tenth of one percent against you wipes the margin on the position.

The $10 entry is not a trap on its own. It is a reasonable way to test execution with money you can afford to lose, and it is honest about what it is.

The domain is older than the company

The archive holds captures of finpros.com going back to October 2000, two decades before the Seychelles company was registered. The domain was bought secondhand, which is ordinary practice and worth knowing only because a long archive history is sometimes presented as a long trading history. Those are different things.

Registers we hold in full

Absence from the last three is expected for a Seychelles-licensed firm and says nothing against it. We list them because the question people actually ask is whether a European or Australian regulator stands behind the account, and the answer is no.

What we checked, and what we didn’t

We read the firm’s published legal notice and account terms, confirmed the entity on the regulator’s own register, and searched three registers we hold locally. We have not opened an account, deposited money, or tested spreads, execution, withdrawals or support, and nothing here reports on those.

Before funding anything, two questions are worth putting to the firm in writing. Which company appears on the client agreement you will be asked to sign, and does it match the Seychelles entity named above? And on the Cent account at 1:1000, what is the margin call and stop-out level, in percent, and where is it published?
