You can do the research by knowing about the companies or browsing on the internet.

Here you won’t get all the services like experts suggestions etc; they don’t offer the assistance like full service brokerages.

If you have more money in your saving account. It is better to go and invest your money in share market, because your money can be increased by a substantial amount. You will get very less amount for saving account (i.e. up to 2.5 %). If you invest in the share market, you may get annual returns up to 10 % or more than that.

There is always risk in anything you do. You need to more concentrate on the share market, before buying shares of any company.
