Going out on your own shouldn't mean being your own compliance department, your own back-office, your own marketing team — and your own backup when you take a day off. Zaner carries all of it, so you can focus on your clients and your trades. Independent since 1980, and built for brokers who'd rather not do everything alone.

You focus on clients; we handle the NFA. Registration, recordkeeping, advertising review and audit support — so compliance stops eating your week.
Coverage when you're on vacation, out sick, or slammed. Your clients are never left without a pro who knows the markets — no expensive backup for you to staff.
A professional website, research, branded content and a modern online account-opening flow — the marketing muscle a one-person shop can't staff or afford.
Trade ideas, a team to think out loud with, and people who pick up the phone. The support of a firm without giving up your independence.
Competitive splits and payouts built around your book — you keep more of what you grow.
Choose the clearing firm that fits your clients, backed by our multi-billion-dollar relationships.
The names that once stood for independent, full-service futures brokerage have been absorbed into a few large firms. For the sole props and small shops that relied on them, that means new layers, new systems, more compliance to carry alone, and a support line that no longer knows your name.
Zaner didn't consolidate. We're the same independent, owner-operated firm we've been since 1980 — with the compliance, back-office and marketing muscle to carry the load a solo shop can't carry alone.
No 1-800 gauntlet. A conversation, a plan that fits your book, and a team that helps you move.
A direct conversation about your clients, your book, and what you need from a clearing and service partner.
We help you select the Zaner-linked FCM that best fits your clients — hand-picked, not one-size-fits-all.
A guided account-opening flow and hands-on help migrating relationships without the friction.
Ongoing back-office, reporting, research and a 24/7 desk standing behind you as you scale.
Tell us what's eating your time — compliance, coverage, marketing, back-office — and we'll show you what an independent partner can take off your plate. No queue, no runaround — a real conversation with the people who run the firm.
