1. Familiarize yourself with the foreign exchange (FOREX) markets and the appropriate trading software. You will need to stay on top of the market if you want to see considerable gains, and also to ensure that you are making a good profit.
2. Build up a base of clients. Consider working with a travel agency or similar business that deals with consumers who are going to be moving in and out of the country frequently. Small businesses that frequently import goods from foreign countries are also potential targets for your marketing campaign.
3. Research your primary competitors: banks and transaction services like PayPal. As you are literally dealing in money, the best way for you to distinguish your business from that of your competitors will be to compete on price.
4. Accrue a capital stockpile of the most common currency that you are exchanging, but take care not to exceed your regular needs. The currency markets can shift with stunning rapidity.
5. Expand your client base. As you become known as an excellent alternative to banks and other major currency exchangers, more opportunities will open up to you. Consider starting a website for individual consumers to purchase currency from as well.
6. Hedge your risks. Currencies are constantly floating assets. It can be easy to make or lose tremendous amounts of money in short amounts of time depending on fluctuations. Invest conservatively in other areas to ensure that your business continues to have access to operating capital.
