A business plan for an online brokerage firm has to take into account that this isn't 1999. The glory days of online brokerage firms was certainly the dot com bubble of the late 90's where hordes of middle management people left their corporate job to day trade a market that had no where to go but up. Today's online brokerage is different. Rather than focusing on lightening fast trades, while that's still good, the common focus is on depth of research and access to IPO's the average brokerage doesn't get. Todays online brokerage uses low trading fees as a given while pushing the research center traders require to make good medium range plays.
Things to consider in the online brokerage firm business plan:
• Levels of access based on account size
• Withdrawal and deposit options
• Margin limits and credit standing's of account holders
• How to use SSL to mitigate account security and provide seamless client access
