When ever you apply to work at most financial firms they check your credit which may impact their decision in hiring you. Do prop shops, because of the higher leverage, check your credit as well? And is perfect credit required?
The shops often metioned here would take an out of work illegal as long he can sign his name and put up the risk capital. If a discount broker (ameritrade, etrade, etc) accepted your 'application' to open an account, prop shops are no different in that neither cares where your money comes from or how good or bad you are with it, as long as you got enough to trade with.
