You have to determine whether you'll start a web based business or one with a store front. I'd call the local office of SCORE (go to and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE. The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a financial services company and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them. You'll need to register the business with your state controller's office and make sure that you have any city and county licenses if any are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan. Try this link : and read some of the articles especially the ones about a business plan and starting a business.

You find the companies look at their web sites and call them on the phone. Depends on what you are selling. When I worked for a stock broker I remember one of the big mutual fund companies visiting us so that we could sell their products. The direct approach is the best.
