Why Guernsey-Gold?

Guernsey Gold gives you:

1. Best Price
2. Guaranteed Quality
3. Secure, insured storage
4. Free first-year storage
5. Client Confidentiality

Guernsey Gold was founded to provide top quality physical gold bullion to the public at the lowest possible price. By offering free storage for the first year it encourages investors to not only buy our bullion but to sell it through us as well. Most bullion dealers and gold bugs are only interested in the selling side but investors now demand liquidity and an exit strategy. Mainstream banks are eager to dispose of ‘small’ physical gold investors who they see as an inconvenience. Big banks only want big bars in their vault to save costs on their storage and custodial duties. At Guernsey Gold we welcome all investors large or small. Everyone has a right to quality gold that is value for money in price and storage.

We were the first bullion dealer to register with the Guernsey Financial Services Commission under the 2008 legislation for Registration of Non-Regulated Financial Services Businesses. We are listed on their web-site as follows: http://www.gfsc.gg/content.asp?pageID=512&menuOpen=5&submenuOpen=5.4

Besides offering the best price in the British Isles, Guernsey Gold has a unique advantage in being physically based offshore. Much of the world’s gold is stored in the USA, UK and Switzerland in central banks and commercial banks. While gold trades without VAT in most jurisdictions this is not the case for silver and platinum. Investors in these precious metals are encouraged to maximise their capital by purchasing and storing bullion offshore to legitimately avoid any sales tax. The high cost of insuring and transporting the likes of silver particularly encourages its accumulation and storage offshore.

Guernsey is a highly regulated finance centre situated between Britain and France and operates on London time (GMT). In 2009 Guernsey was placed on the White List of jurisdictions by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development). As well as being independent the island is politically stable and boasts a highly developed financial services industry. Guernsey enjoys a very low crime rate and is a very secure place to store bullion. The Channel Islands also benefit by the absence of VAT on precious metals as well as the non-existence of inheritance or capital gains taxes.

We provide investors with photographic evidence of their bars with dates and certificates to record and verify their bullion. We also offer free storage for the first year at an independent vault specifically designed for institutions and private investors to store precious metals. Bullion buyers can take delivery by insured post or come to Guernsey to view their gold or collect it personally. The movement of bullion either way across Guernsey’s borders must be declared to Customs if in excess of €10,000.
