How to start a cash for gold business

Our business plan is to start a mobile cash-for-gold and scrap jewelry business.

We will meet with sellers at their homes or businesses to purchase their items and enable them to arrange scrap gold and jewelry parties to buy unwanted items from their friends and families.

We will offer competitive prices and excellent customer service to attract and retain customers.

By being mobile, we will be able to reach a more extensive customer base and increase convenience for our clients.

Business Description:

Our business will be mobile-oriented.

We will purchase diamonds, gold, and jewelry from customers, including broken or damaged items, and resell them to gold refineries, pawn shops, and jewelers.

We will invest in simple gold acid testing kits and an electronic diamond analyzer.

We will invest in the necessary tools to test and weigh gold and jewelry on-site.

We will also offer on-site jewelry repair and cleaning services.

Additionally, we will organize “scrap gold and jewelry parties” where we will come to a host’s home or business and purchase items from their guests.

Marketing and Sales:

Our target market will be individuals and families looking to sell their unwanted gold and jewelry.

We will advertise through CraigsList, local newspapers, and online classifieds, as well as through social media and search engine optimization.

We will also offer cash referral bonuses to customers who refer friends and family to our business.

We will also reach out to potential hosts for scrap gold and jewelry parties, offering them a percentage of the sales as an incentive.

Operations:

The owner will operate the business, possibly hiring additional staff as the business grows.

We will purchase gold and jewelry from customers, test the items for purity and weight, and then offer a fair price based on the current market value.

We will also clean and repair items as necessary before reselling them.

By being mobile, we will be able to reach a more extensive customer base and increase convenience for our clients.

Financial Projections:

We anticipate that our startup costs will be $500, which will cover the cost of purchasing test equipment, necessary tools and inventory, and advertising.

We project that we will generate $300,000 in revenue in our first year, with a net profit of $125,000.
