I'd like to invest some cash (just few thousands) that is currently sitting on my bank account.
There are few companies I believe will significantly increase their value in the next years (let's say Tesla and Apple for the sake of argument), I feel I know the industry fairly well and I'm happy to risk the money.
I don't have the time or interest in trading as I already have a full time job, I plan to buy and hold.
What would be the easiest (cheapest) way to purchase them? Is there a way to cut the middleman?

You can open a brokerage account with any of the popular discount brokers: Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, etc. Just go to their web sites and follow the steps to open an account. If you need a bit more hand-holding, which is normal for new investors, you can drop into one of their offices and they're happy to help. Fees are generally low all around (~$5 per trade), so you can't go wrong with a name-brand discount broker. The middleman is cheap!

The cheapest way to buy stock is commission free Robinhood. They have many deficiencies but for a few Buy&Hold positions in a small account, that's probably your best bet. If you need anything more than that, you need to look at other brokerage firms.
