Are you ready to start a forex broker? If you already have a FX business (IB, Money Manager, Signal Provider, etc.) you mean be curious about what is required to start your own forex broker. The forex industry is still rapidly expanding, with the number of traders and brokers growing daily. Are you ready to take the next step and start your own forex broker? Here are some questions you should ask yourself before you decide whether to start a broker.
1.) Do you have a client base ready to go?
This is undoubtably the most important question. If you have a client base ready to go, you have a big leg up on the competition. Before you decide to open your broker, find out how much of your existing client base can be transferred over to your new MT4 brokerage!
2.) Do you have a plan/strategy for getting clients?
Is your existing business model ready to get clients for your brokerage? Does your existing business model conflict with running a forex broker? Can you run the business simultaneously? These are all questions you need to ask yourself before starting your own brokerage.
3.) How much technology experience do you have?
Running an online forex business requires a lot of technology skills. Are you comfortable with all the systems required to start a forex brokerage? Do you need to find somebody to help you manage the software? Do an honest evaluation of your technology skills before you take the plunge!
4.) What is your budget?
It is very possible to launch a brokerage on a small budget. The technology costs are very low, and easy to overcome with the right business plan. It is important you realistically budget what you will need to grow your business, and plan for marketing and sales expenses (these are the biggest costs for any FX MT4 broker.)
