• Check brokerage rates of other firms and compare the prices, decide on the best option available.

• The stock broker should not stick around with one stock exchange. Make sure your stock broker is registered with all the stock trading unit available in your country. For instance, if you stay in India, then your agent should be an active member of BSE and NSE.

• If you prefer online transactions, make sure your brokerage firm uses encryption technology. Encryption prevents hacking of your accounts.
