Hi,

I would suggest you pay for consultancy (I would prefer if you have a friend who is working in IT, it would be less costly). Regarding your question, if you want to have some kind of domain environment, where files would be on a file server, people would have user accounts and they would log into their PCs, when you don't have to worry about IP address assignment and such, I would suggest you purchase Windows Server 2012 Essentials, which is for up to 50 devices and 25 users, it is destined to be a Domain Controller, which is a centralized place for users and computers, and build yourself a nice domain where you would assign administrators, power users, or regular users, it would be up to you.
Well, to be able to do this, it would require at least a little bit of Microsoft Server knowledge. if you don't have it, as I stated above, maybe you have a friend who is working in IT, or who at least built few domains :) 
Goodluck and I hope you will fulfill your dream :)

You have two items to consider:

1) If you want to open up a business (like a brokerage), then you usually have regulations to follow. In the U.S., that is definitely true. So you would need to consult with someone on both the technical aspects and the legal aspects of what you are attempting. Try IBM's Global Business services and see where they lead you.

2) If you want to become a "day-trader" and have others join you in it, then you simply need a fast Internet connection and a decent computer. There isn't much more involved than that, besides whatever company you choose to submit your trades and the program you use to submit them.
