Welcome to HB Funded: The Prop Firm Built for UK Spread Betters

HB Funded Team · 21 Jun 2026

The Problem with Most Prop Firms

If you trade spread bets in the UK — on IG Index, CMC Markets, Spreadex, or any of the major platforms — you already know the frustration. Most prop firms out there are built around CFD or futures trading. They expect you to use MetaTrader, trade US futures, or switch to a platform you have never used before just to take their evaluation. It does not have to be that way.

Why We Built HB Funded

HB Funded was created specifically for UK spread betters. We wanted to build a prop firm that works the way you already trade — on your existing spread betting platform, with your own strategy, at your own pace. No forced platform switches. No arbitrary time limits. Just a fair evaluation of your trading ability.

How It Works

Getting started is straightforward. You choose an evaluation package starting from just £99, which gives you access to a simulated trading environment that mirrors real spread betting conditions. Your job is simple: hit the profit target while staying within the drawdown limits. There is no time pressure — take as long as you need.

Once you pass, you move into a virtual funded account. From that point, you keep a share of every penny of profit you make. Splits start at 50% and grow over time — all the way up to 80% as you build your track record with us. And here is something we are particularly proud of: your evaluation fee is fully refunded on your first payout. So the only thing you are really risking is your time.

The Benefits That Actually Matter

Spread betting in the UK is tax-free, and that applies here too. The profits you earn through your HB Funded account are yours to keep — no capital gains tax, no income tax on spread betting profits. That is a genuinely significant advantage that most traders overlook when comparing prop firms.

Payouts are processed within 48 hours of your request. No waiting weeks, no jumping through hoops. We built the payout system to be fast because we know that is what matters to traders who are relying on consistent income.

There are no hidden rules either. Everything you need to know is on our Rules page, written in plain English. We are not looking for reasons to fail you — we are looking for traders who can perform consistently.

Refer a Friend, Earn While You Trade

If you know other spread betters who would benefit from HB Funded, our referral scheme lets you earn alongside your trading. You pick up £10 when someone you refer signs up and verifies, and a further £50 when they receive their first funded payout.
