Don't think that would work, since IB is retail. I don't think they (IB) franchise out their Front End either, not 100% sure.

To my knowledge IB does not offer Joint Back Office relationships would be required for a BD prop firm.

Maverick Trading does use IB has their trading platform. They are not a typical prop firm as they don't do stocks (only options) and don't give a rat's ass how many shares you churn in a month

I know that they offer their platform as a white-label option to introducing brokers and advisors, but don't know why a prop firm would care whether the front end, reports etc. was labeled as IB or their own firm.

Not much difference between prop and IB if you have 100k to open an account. IB will provide portfolio margin and plenty of leverage.

IB also provides the interface to do on open and close type orders etcs and route orders to different exchanges. Plus deep discounted trades per share if you want.

Don maybe you could highlight how bright is different?
