What we tell you before we start
!
Gold trading is among the sectors most exposed to money laundering. We apply enhanced due diligence to the source of both funds and metal, and decline files whose traceability does not hold. A licence does not open a bank account: banks treat this sector separately.

Next step
Twenty minutes to frame your project, and start it now.
Free, with no conditions. We tell you at the end what we would do in your place — including building nothing at all, or staying where you are. The answer is often no, and we would rather say so before billing anything.
- Which jurisdiction holds for your case — and which would not.
- What it truly costs in year one, and the year after.
- What can make it fail, and at which point it happens.
