The company

    An independent research company for the funded-trading industry

    PropFirmScan is based in Sweden and founded by Kevin Nerway. We started as a place to check whether a prop firm actually pays. We now run a rating dataset, a comparison engine, a cashback programme and a daily research desk — and we are still expanding.

    The platform, in numbers

    Live from our own database, not a marketing deck.

    What we operate

    Four business lines, one dataset underneath all of them.

    Research Desk

    A daily institutional brief built from investment-bank research, positioning data and central-bank policy. Published to members every trading day.

    Research membership

    Data & Ratings

    The firm and programme dataset behind the PFS Score — fees, targets, drawdown rules, profit splits and payout records, re-verified as terms change.

    Scoring methodology

    Cashback & Partnerships

    Direct commercial relationships with vetted prop firms, funding a universal 2% cashback returned to traders on every challenge purchase.

    How cashback works

    Publishing

    A market desk and editorial operation covering news, guides, the glossary and country-level tax treatment for funded traders.

      Market desk launches

      Daily coverage of the macro and prop-firm events that actually move funded accounts.

      Comparison engine

      Head-to-head matchups computed from live programme data, with category pages for every challenge structure.

    5. March 2026

      Global expansion

      Country tax guides and regional availability pages open the platform to traders outside our first markets.

    6. Now

      Research membership and beyond

      The Research Desk operates as a paid product alongside the free platform, and we are actively hiring and signing new partners.

    Independence and standards

    We earn money from affiliate commissions and the Research membership. No firm can pay for a higher score, a badge, or a place in a ranking. Everything we publish is attributable to a named person and sourced to a document we can show you.
