do not recommend this idea you have. There are already multiple huge services that new exchanges cannot compete with (Xapo, Coinbase, etc).

Sorry to burst your bubble.
Hmm are that the big exchanges? I thought they real big exchanges are Bittrex, Poloniex and Cryptsy.
AFAIK is xapo a wallet and not an exchange.

Better do something else but no exchange

OP ask how to make a bitcoin exchange, not use exchanges company to trade fiat/BTC.
