EC Markets Doubles Its 2025 UK Revenue, Headcount Jumps

The UK unit of EC Markets almost doubled its revenue in 2025 to more than $6.3 million, up from $3.2 million the previous year. All of the revenue was generated in the UK from what the company described in its Companies House filing as “management services”.

London's trading industry is coming home!

“The company's principal activity during the period continued to be that of an execution only brokerage for CFD's and rolling spot forex, authorised and regulated by the FCA,” the UK-registered entity of the group noted in its filing.

“Additionally, the Company performed risk management services for an affiliated regulated broker for a fixed monthly fee that created an unregulated income stream.”

A Profitable Year

After administrative expenses, the UK company’s operating profit came in at over $1 million, up from $614,622 the previous year. Net profit for the year was $986,885.

One reason for the company's rising administrative costs was its headcount: the broker ended the year with 18 staff, compared with 11 the previous year.
