Buyer Qualification

Understanding the documentation and verification requirements that govern engagement with seller mandates.

Why Documentation Is Required

Documentation is used to verify buyer identity, capacity, and commercial intent prior to seller engagement. This protects both parties and prevents engagement with fraudulent inquiries, intermediary chains, or speculative requests.

Seller mandates engage only with verified and qualified buyers. Standard trade documentation is required in all cases.

Why CIS, LOI, and KYC Are Standard

Company Information Sheet (CIS)

Confirms company legitimacy, operational capacity, and business structure.

Letter of Intent (LOI)

Demonstrates commercial intent and outlines volume, timeline, and delivery or custody requirements.

Know Your Customer (KYC)

Ensures compliance with AML regulations and verifies buyer identity. This is primarily required for gold transactions.

Seller Engagement Policy

Seller mandates engage only after commercial alignment and completion of required documentation. This ensures that seller time is reserved exclusively for serious, capable counterparties.

No Seller Call Without Verification

Seller calls are conducted only after documentation and verification are complete. This requirement is non-negotiable and applies to all commodities.
