About the business

Tell us a little about yourself. What’s your background? How did you start the business?

Aussie Day Trader was set up by two friends; Phill and Gareth. Both friends had involvement with setting up businesses previously and came together when they realized there was a big shortage of Australian-based trading coaches. After much brainstorming, the pair came up with the basic framework of Aussie Day Trader which was to be an online coaching business aimed at getting everyday Aussies making money in the markets.

Growing the business

Can you list a few opportunities for a potential new owner to continue growing the business?

There are lots, we decided to not run any paid shoutouts however we get 2-3 email inquiries a month so these could be acted on. We also have an email list that we haven’t fully marketed to. In addition, the new owner could promote affiliate products.
