Partner With Best Broker

How to set up a share market franchise

To start a stock market franchise business, you must first partner with a registered brokerage firm. Such a tie-up will bring you access to the broker’s brand name, trading systems, and catalogue of products and services. Carrying out stock market transactions on your clients’ behalf would then become quicker and more seamless. The association with a reputed broker could also help you to win over new clients and expand your business over time.

How does a share market franchise work?

A stock market franchise business assists its clients to invest and trade in financial securities. Say, a client places a stock market order with the franchise business. The franchisee will then place the order via their partner broker’s trading terminal. Finally, the broker will execute the order as per the client’s instructions.

Once the transaction is complete, the client will pay a brokerage commission for the service rendered. This commission will be shared by the share market franchise business (the franchisee) and the partner broker (the franchisor). The share of each partner is outlined in a revenue-sharing agreement, the terms of which are finalised while setting up the franchise business.

Both partners have distinct functions:

  • The franchisee acquires new customers, interacts with them on a one-to-one basis, and carries out stock market transactions on their behalf.
  • The franchisor shares its tools and resources with the franchisee, so that the latter can provide all-round service to their client.

At Kotak Securities, we have decades of experience in the stock broking franchise sector. So, we are well-equipped to guide you through every aspect of the franchise business.

Starting a stock market franchise? Here’s what you need

If you wish to set up a share broking franchise, check if you meet the eligibility criteria:

  • Educational qualifications

    Anyone who has passed their higher secondary board exam can open a franchise business. But you will have to complete the certification exam from the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM). The NISM study modules cover the equity and derivatives markets, as well as mutual funds. The NISM certification is mandated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

  • Work experience and technical knowledge

    Having prior work experience with a brokerage house is a plus. Such experience implies that you have the technical knowledge to run a share broking franchise business. It also helps if you understand how the stock markets function and are updated on all market-related news.

  • Registration

    Before applying to set up a share market franchise, you must register with SEBI and a local stock exchange. If you meet the above criteria, it’s time to take the next step: Find the right broker to partner with and submit your application. Just keep in mind that you will need to pay an initial deposit to the broker once your application is approved. The deposit amount varies from broker to broker and is usually negotiable.

Benefits of opening a share market franchise

Here’s how you could gain by taking the franchise route:

  • Ease of setting up business

    The initial investment is small, and the fees for registering with SEBI and the local stock exchange are affordable. The regulatory requirements are low as well. Besides, anyone who has passed their higher secondary exams can apply, provided they have NISM certification.

  • Support from partner broker

    Tying up with the right broker is critical. A partner like Kotak Securities will provide you with:

    • training to help you run your business and expand your client list;
    • technical assistance to make transactions more seamless;
    • advisory support such as market research and stock recommendations.
