CORPORATE PROCUREMENT
Corporate physical-gold purchasing: from specification to custody
A company purchase needs clear responsibilities and records. Define the purpose, specification and budget, then check the supplier, quote, payment approval, delivery and storage plan.
Quick answer
Fix product specification, weight, fineness, quantity, currency and delivery date before requesting quotes. Separate approval, payment, acceptance and inventory recording between responsible staff.
Make the request precise
State purpose, specification, acceptable brand or standard, quantity, delivery location and timing so vendors quote the same basis.
For large or recurring transactions, understand dealer registration, customer due diligence and required company documents.
Delivery and control checklist
At delivery, check each item, weight, serial, certificate, packaging and invoice, and document when custody transfers.
- Separate quotation and approval
- Double-check payment details
