One of Argons maybe?? In The Navy or Return from the Darkside.

I don't think it's In The Navy. The main character does help start a tailor shop and maybe one or two other businesses but no banks

I believe in 1 of the stories in the series they (Robert and ? I think?) do start a bank or investment bank/house...can't remember which one though

EDIT - Found the names of the 2 that opened but not which story,,,Lambert and Norton

This does sound like it comes from the Anthony Carter universe. The earliest references are probably in Ellen (although I believe Anthony Carter once attended a reception hosted by a financier named Norton, and he married into the Lambert family.)

"Ellen" by Argon. The bank idea starts in chapter 32.

That's cause they do... I just couldn't remember and didn't want to spend the time searching chapters for the story they created the Investment Bank in.. :D

@dawaster

The author pulled it a long time ago (12-15 years?) for publication. Then briefly re-posted a slightly expanded version but pulled it agai8n shortly after. A great series, though.

Sounds like the true story of the founding of Lloyd's of London

@dawaster

I must admit it's close but not the story I'm looking for. I remember the 2 men purchasing a coffee shop where deals were made then turned the idea into opening a trading house/ bank
