Advice for a new start-up
« on: February 13, 2015, 08:20:34 pm »
Hi all,

I am in the process of building a new stock brokerage solution that provides significant discounts on transaction fees compared to traditional brokerages by harnessing the power of group investment. Think of it as Groupon meets stock brokerage.

I am looking to get some feedback from potential customers as to current investing behaviours and interest in the new service to help me best shape the service. To this end I have created a survey and now need some respondents :). If you do have the time to help me out by completing this survey it would be much appreciated, the link is:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6BJWX8B

If you do complete the survey and provide your e-mail address for future reference I have arranged a small token of my appreciation for you. Get to the end to find out what it is!

Thanks in advance for your support,

Jack

Please share your findings. I will gladly join your group share buying scheme, especially if it's easy to use.

In the past there was a big need for this, with minimum brokerage fees, and high percentages. But this position has mostly been filled by easy equities, who have no minimum fee. You can also own a partial share, ie if you invest R800 in naspers, you get the benefits of half the holding, someone else would own the other half. As a bonus you get to choose which shares to invest in.

As a groupon/broker I'm not sure I'd want to invest in the same thing everyone else does. Unless there is a very significant fee discount, and a rock solid company and contract protecting my assets. Can you get lower than 0.25% with no minimum?

I did fill in the survey but you never revealed what the token would one day be...
