Advantages of Setting Up an Asset Management and Investment Company
Here are the advantages of starting a business that manages other people’s investments and assets:
Independent Business: as it is a micro-enterprise, it is not necessary to have the support of partners, so you will be able to set up an Asset and Investment Management Company on your own, being the only responsible, and therefore beneficiary, of the project.
Low costs: since it is not necessary to rent a premises, you can work from home with the help of a computer and an Internet connection. In case you decide to rent an office, the cost of it will not be at all excessive. Another option is to share a space with other professionals, such as an accounting firm or a house that rents out independent rooms for offices.
Wide Clientele: Finally, a very important advantage to consider is that this is a business with a vast amount of potential clients; all of them stranded, in search of a financial advisor who will advise them what to do with their funds to obtain the greatest benefit.
What Services Does a Financial Advisor Offer?
When we decide to set up a Wealth and Investment Management Company, we must include in the business plan the services we will offer and how we will implement them.
An entrepreneur in charge of such a project has the function of advising his clients about the best option in which to invest their money. To achieve this, he will have to analyze in detail the client’s financial situation: how much capital he has, in what currency he has it, where it comes from, if he has more capital available in case the investment does not work out, etc.
It is very important to let the client know that an investment, although it is a decision based on a real situation and is analyzed in detail, is not a guarantee of success. Therefore, the first advice a client should receive is not to invest all of his money, but rather to reserve a part of it for his daily life in case the business does not work out.
Finally, when setting up a Wealth and Investment Management Company, a client should never be unaware that investments are made on changing securities, so a deal that is excellent today may lead to total failure tomorrow.

Another cost that you should incorporate is a printer and also office supplies, as well as some furniture.
