Company type for Futures Trading

Asked by: Michael  — 9 January, 2013

Would you recommend an LLC or C-corp for a futures trader.

Michael,

I guess for your type of business LLC would suffice, but you should contact an attorney licensed to practice in your state, because each state has its own peculiarities.

I presume that you are licensed commodities brokers, and you have appropriate securities counsel. You will likely need a specialized LLC operating agreement that has special language and a bunch of securities disclaimers, especially if you plan on selling interest in this LLC to others. Usually, the securities attorney should draft the operating agreement in this circumstance.
