Searching for stock broker business plans? These documents explain what the common services are of a U.S. stock broker and look at the market opportunity (either locally or regionally/nationally) for assisting consumers in the selection, purchase, and sale of stocks. Asset managers work as independent brokers or as delegates of larger financial firms; in the latter case, there are typically support structures and guidelines to help ensure legality, portfolio balance, etc. For freelance brokers, there is more pressure to make sound suggestions and to stay within regulatory requirements, but the business model is substantially the same. A stock broker business plan should answer these questions:
• Who is in your target market for services?
• How broad of a geographic area do you cater to?
• How would you define your service suite – can you list out your services?
• What are your primary competitors?
• What is your average portfolio value?
If you are already operating as a stock broker the business plan should have a section that outlines your past performance. This financial component is a collection of your balance sheets and profit and loss statements from the past 2-3 operating years. If your operation is a start-up, no worries; you should itemize your intended use of funds in a start-up summary and model some revenue projections based on industry averages or competitive comparables. The business plan should show a brief marketing plan and a management summary, along with a personnel forecast if you will have any salaried assistants or coworkers. Need help writing this plan?
