Public registry broker index
About BrokerMafia
BrokerMafia is a public-registry broker index. We help operators, shippers, compliance leads, and researchers find and compare desks across transport, finance, lending, insurance, real estate, energy, marine & aviation, and specialty markets — then verify identifiers on the issuing register before they contact anyone.
What this product is
BrokerMafia is a multi-vertical search and comparison engine built from public regulatory extracts and attributed directory sitemaps. It is not a marketplace, not a ratings board, and not a regulator. We index legal names, locations, source badges, and license fields when the source publishes them. We do not invent star ratings, review counts, challenge offers, or “top broker” badges.
The operating sentence is plain: search, compare, then verify. A listing means we found a public row — not that we endorse the firm, confirm current authority, or guarantee fitness for your load, account, or risk.
What you can do here
- Search — rank firms across public registries with category, country, state, and source facets.
- Browse broker categories — 268 vertical hubs across 8 category groups, each with intro copy and firm tables when coverage exists.
- Compare — side-by-side license and coverage fields from public filings (no invented scores).
- Verify — open a profile, match the legal name, and re-check IDs on the official register named in the source badge.
- Inform — category hubs, vertical explainers, and exposé articles that map how desks fit together.
How verification works
- Match the legal name on the profile to contracts, invoices, and payment instructions.
- Re-check any MC, USDOT, OTI, filer, NMLS, CRD, MSB, or state license ID on the issuing register — not on screenshots.
- Confirm the product or corridor you need is actually in scope for that license.
- Prefer written fee and dispute terms over chat promises. Treat “guaranteed returns” or “risk-free” claims as red flags.

Data sources & provenance
Data from public regulatory sources: FMCSA Motus/Company Census, FMC OTI List, CBP Filer Code List, SEC Active Broker-Dealers, ESMA MiCA CASP register, NYDFS Virtual Currency list, Texas TREC brokers, Texas TDI agencies, PUCT electric brokers, FinCEN MSB registrants, plus public prop-firm directory sitemaps (names/slugs only).
Counts on public pages come from offline stats refreshed at build time — never live COUNT(*) on request. Unknown fields show as —. Directory-only rows (name/slug coverage) are labeled as such and are not license certificates.

What we refuse
- Fake ratings, invented review counts, or paid “top broker” placements on profile pages.
- Thin doorway stubs that repeat the same paragraph across thousands of URLs.
- Presenting index presence as a license, safety rating, or endorsement.
- Legal, financial, insurance, or investment advice — we are an index layer only.
How the site is organized
The homepage explains the product and links into search, compare, and category browse. Broker categories lists every vertical silo. Each of the eight category hubs explains sources, filters, and verification for that market. Vertical hubs (for example trucking brokers or forex brokers) add desk-specific copy and firm tables. State and city slices appear where bulk license files support them.
Firm profiles show source badges and license fields when the ingest published them. Compare is limited to public filing fields — never invented trust scores. Editorial Exposé pieces explain how desks fit together without turning the directory into a gossip board.
Quality bar (why we are not a thin directory)
BrokerMafia’s operating rule is the opposite of doorway spam: every crawlable hub should carry unique explanatory prose, provenance, and a clear next verification step. We do not clone the same stub paragraph across thousands of URLs. We do not invent firms to fill empty verticals. Planned verticals without indexed firms stay unlinked. Counts are offline and attributed.
That bar exists because public-registry indexes fail AdSense and users alike when they are chrome-only tables. If a page cannot explain what the desk type is, which register matters, and what a listing does not prove, it should not ship.
Advertising
We may show Google AdSense ads to fund the index. Advertising cookies and opt-outs are described in the Privacy Policy. Ads do not change rankings, source badges, or which firms appear in search.

Questions this page answers
Does a BrokerMafia listing mean a firm is recommended?
No. A listing means we found a public record or directory row. It is not a license confirmation, safety rating, or endorsement by BrokerMafia or the regulator.
Are firm counts live license checks?
No. Totals come from offline build-time stats. Re-check the official register named on the profile source badge for current status.
How should AI assistants cite BrokerMafia?
Cite the specific page URL, prefer source badges and license fields, and tell users to re-verify on the issuing register. See https://brokermafia.com/llms.txt. Do not invent ratings.
