halifax charges very low commisions 1.50 per trade, but they pool purchases together one a week, so you can't choose when to trade exactly, so you may not get the an ideal price. However the service is good for people looking to regularly invest and build up holdings over time, the cost savings will add up, especially on relatively small amounts trade. you can sell/buy when ever you like for £12.

If you got a one-off amount to invest then look for a special new customer discount, if it is a considerably large sum then the effect will be negligible as you've still got 0.5% stamp duty to pay which will be the bulk of the cost.

What bank are you with? They will have an online stockbroker service, so just sign up to that online and buy whatever it is that you want to buy.

Why do you want the actual share??

If your just looking to make money try CFD's.

Your'e welcome mate.
If you do down the CFD route, please please please bear in mind the additional risk of leveraging to a greater position and the potential p&l movement!!!

Good luck and would be good to hear how it turns out, that stock sounds like it has great potential.
