Independent Research The Interstate Group operates as an agency-only brokerage with no conflicts of interest and provides independent research to the institutional investment community, presenting a potential sales opportunity to vendors of research data, analytics, and research subscription services seeking distribution partnerships.

Institutional Trading With integrated trading, sales, and support for institutional clients and a specialized arrangement to obtain research products with commission dollars, there is potential to cross-sell trading technology, execution tools, and commission management services to similar broker-dealers and asset managers.

Tech Stack Current infrastructure includes AWS, Route 53, DocuSign, Windows Server, and Microsoft ASP.NET/IIS, indicating opportunities to offer cloud, security, e-signature, and .NET-based software solutions or managed services tailored for regulated financial services firms.

Growth Potential Revenue is in the low-to-mid single digits of a typical B2B financial services firm, and the company has a compact team (11-50 employees) in Charlotte, suggesting opportunities for scalable SaaS platforms, compliance tooling, or outsourced support services that fit a lean operation.
