There is no legal trading of any securities without a valid license for the appropriate security. If you do not have the right license for example to trade futures, and you do, then you have a serious problem. Don't do it!

Q: Am I legally allowed to receive a fee (finders fee) for making an introduction to someone who gave a loan to a business?

I understand that I can’t receive a fee if I find an investor - but I’m assuming a loan would be ok?

Generally speaking you can legally pay a referral fee on a commercial loan. For example if you apply for a commercial loan online via a lending aggregator, a referral fee may be charged to the loan. Lender will often pay this fee, but some aggregators pass this tax the borrower.

They are your parents, and you live in their home, and they support you, so the answer is NO.

As a general rule, once money is deposited into an UTMA account, it is irrevocable. In other words, the money cannot be returned to the person who deposited the money.
